Abstract des Autors
Tendon injuries are typical and common complaints in sports and are most frequently located in the lower extremities. The amount and frequency of different tendon injuries are closely related to the different types of sports in different countries, but in general running is the most frequent cause. The Achilles and patella tendons are the most common sites of tendon injuries sustained in sports activities. Both the intrinsic and extrinsic factors should be identified and taken into consideration when planning injury prevention. Verf.-Referat
