The uniaxial mechanical tests were used to determine the elastic properties of the tissues, showing that a general stiffening process occurs during the early stages of the IH (STH group), specially leading to a significative increase in the high strain elastic modulus ( E 2 ) and an increasing trend of low strain elastic modulus ( E 1 ).
