hematology - Is it possible to condition the body to reduce bruising?


I do combat sports, and in these sports there are a lot of hits that can cause bruising.



I've found that, over time, physical conditioning can reduce and/or eliminate the bruising to the point where even after hard impacts, there is no residual bruising.


However, I was under the impression that it is not possible to "condition" for reduced bruising since bruising is the result of ruptured capillaries, and you can't condition to not rupture blood vessels.


Can someone offer an explanation to why, with conditioning, it is possible to reduce/eliminate bruising?
