Muscles need neurons to control them, so it makes sense that some feedback loop would exist. I remember reading about similar feedback loops between muscle growth and bone density (as you get stronger, bones benefit from being resilient to higher loads).

As I understand it, the kinetic chain goes nervous system -> muscles -> tendons -> bones. It would make sense for all of these to make each other stronger in some way.






Don't forget cartilage. Regular cyclical loads trigger cartilage growth.

Any parallels to sedentary human beings are strictly coincidental.

It makes sense to think of bones as endocrine organs.
