If I were to look at this from a muscle-building standpoint, which many people here make the comparison even if it’s not the same thing; then I would say that tissue needs to break down before it could rebuild stronger. That’s called adaptation.
You need to damage tissue enough for your body to see it as a threat to its survival and thus adapts to better handle that stress in the future.
People have different levels of work capacity, meaning the amount of micro damage they can recover from in a given time.
No matter how good or bad your work capacity is, there needs to be an increase of work over the period of months or years in order for adaptations to keep occurring; otherwise known as progressive overload. The reason work must increase over time is that your body will eventually stagnate because the stress isn’t enough to cause physiological changes.
I have no idea if this even applies with non muscular tissue. But it seems like at least some of it applies since most users do move on to more intense or longer sessions, or even switching things up which in the bodybuilding world can serve to shock the muscle with something it’s not used to and get it growing again.
