In order to answer the question as to why achilles tendon rupture is common in individuals between 40 and 50, one needs a little background knowledge about tendons.
Tendons are tough cords which attach muscle to bone.
Their function is to transfer the tension developed by the muscle to the bone, thus they are very important in determining the quality of movement. Tendons are composed of thick, closely packed, parallel collagenous bundles. This x-linking enables the tendon fibers to slide past one another. As collagen ages, specific physical and biomechanical changes take places. These changes are reflected in a decrease in the extensibility resulting in an increased rigidity.
