[cardiology] In cardiac physiology, preload is the end diastolic pressure that stretches the right or left ventricle of the heart to its greatest geometric dimensions under variable physiologic demand. In other words, it is the initial stretching of the cardiomyocytes prior to contraction; therefore, it is related to the sarcomere length at...

[engineering] Preload is a mechanical engineering term with several meanings. ==Fastener preload== The most common usage is to describe the load applied to a fastener as a result of it being installed, before any external loads are applied (e.g. tightening the nut on a bolt). Preload in such cases is important for several reasons. First, a ...

(Say: pree - load) - A suspension adjustment that's needed before your first ride to ensure that the suspension is set correctly for your weight. Because suspension designs vary, you should follow the directions in your owner's manual. Usually, preload is accomplished by setting the shock air pressure or spring tension or by replacing its elastomer...
