Raphael Brandon explains how rehab specialists can exploit our emerging knowledge of tendon properties. The properties and behaviour of the muscle-tendon complex (MTC) is a relatively new focus for sports science research, but it is attracting a lot of interest.rucially, the muscles and tendons interact, with the elastic properties of the tendons contributing both to the type and quality of movement. In almost all movements, when the muscle contracts, the tendon will lengthen before it shortens, independent of any change in muscle length.
Cambrian Explosion. A relatively brief time in geologic history (30-50 MY) when large, hard-bodied forms of animals with most of the major body plans known today appeared in the fossil record. This burst of evolutionary change occurred about 535-525 million years ago. No new major phyla since. relatively brief time in geologic history (30-50 MY) when large, hard-bodied forms of animals with most of the major body plans known today appeared in the fossil record.

The Cambrian Explosion. Around 530 million years ago, a wide variety of animals burst onto the evolutionary scene in an event known as the Cambrian explosion. In perhaps as few as 10 million years, marine animals evolved most of the basic body forms that we observe in modern groups.he term explosion may be a bit of a misnomer. Cambrian life did not evolve in the blink of an eye. The Cambrian was preceded by many millions of years of evolution, and many of the animal phyla actually diverged during the Precambrian. The animals of the Cambrian did not appear out of thin air.
