[Biomechanics and aging].
Starting from the physical basics of the biomechanics of connective tissues, organ structures and the corresponding age-related changes of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, blood vessels, and lungs are described. Finally, exogenous factors such as nutrition, hormones, immobilization, activity and adaptive mechanisms and their influence on the biomechanical properties of connective tissue are represented.
