Question about Strength

Do tendons and ligaments lose strength during or ater layoffs, lets say you lift heavy for some years and build some strong tendons and ligaments, maybe joints too. You stop lifting and years will pass, you lose all muscle mass and strength that you gained and return to newbie status. What about the tendons and ligaments?
