Abstract
Understanding the details of tendon plasticity in response to mechanical loading applied to the tendon in vivo may help to improve tendon adaptation, reduce tendon injury risks and increases the performance potential of the human system.
This paper aimed (a) to present the effects of a controlled modulation of strain magnitude and strain frequency applied to the Achilles tendon on the plasticity of tendon mechanical and morphological properties and (b) to investigate whether an exercise induced increase in tendon-aponeurosis stiffness and contractile strength at the triceps surae muscle-tendon unit affect running economy. aus der Einleitung
