I think that the slow-twitch (static or tonic) muscles are the most important for structural stability and maintaining balance (correct me if I am wrong). To me, it seems like TJQ emphasizes the training of these muscles over training the fast-twitch (action or phasic) muscles. Zhan zhuang (站樁 standing like a post), and similar training, trains the slow-twitch muscles while relaxing the fast-twitch muscles, and the slow speed of the forms helps to emphasize these postural muscles that are not really trained through most other exercise practices. Because of this, TJQ improves one’s balance better than many other exercises. Note that many people seem to substitute using their phasic muscles during static postures instead of using their tonic muscles, and TJQ training helps to counteract this tendency.

Honestly said, I have no clue if anything is about developing tissues, but I would agree that proper form practice is more important for developing structural integrity and stability.

The residual force is defined as the difference between the incoming force and the body weight; Fr = Fin - Fbw. And there is no movement when Fbw ≥ Fin.
This sort of explains why Taijiquan is good for the prevention of fall, because standing passively maintains the flexibility of the joints of the lower limb: hip, knee, tibiofibular, ankle, and subtalar.

Testing: There are many passive stances, just ask someone to do a frontal stance with feet apart at shoulder length and push the centre of mass from any direction in various intensities and observe the movements and stepping. Upon impact of the external force to the centre of mass, one should sensed the dispersion of that force to various parts of the body and move into alignment with the trajectory of that force.
Result: It works with anyone who learned the technique of standing passively after a few trials to build up one’s confidence.
Conclusion: Passive movements upon impact conformed to the theory of one move all move.
