|The Spartan candidate | |The Spartan candidate's bones are lengthened by a small amount before being reinforced with skeletal fullerene lattices, it is currently unknown whether this lengthening is achieved surgically or chemically, however Edward Buck commented that his bones were "lengthened" and his muscles "stretched". He gained approximately 3 inches of height from the procedure. | ||
the Candidate's muscles are then reattached and woven with synthetic Poly-Muscle fibers similar to what is used in GEN2 MJOLNIR. they are then subjected to induced growth and muscle grafting which increases the size and density of the muscules. The The joints are also reinforced or replaced. The reinforcement is necessary as without it, simple actions such as jumping would result in the bones disintegrating due to the strain from the strengthened muscles.<ref name="NB14">'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 14</ref> The subject's ligaments are reconstructed during the procedures.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate1}} | |||
The augmentations also give them an enhanced muscle memory, which makes observing and learning combat techniques much easier.<ref>'''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual''', ''page 40''</ref> | |||
