Running has a high incidence of overuse injuries. Achilles tendon (AT) injuries may occur
due to high forces and repetitive loading during running. Foot strike pattern and cadence …

Tendon geometry and tissue properties are important determinants of tendon function and
injury risk and are altered in response to ageing, disease, and physical activity levels. The …

During prolonged running, the magnitude of Achilles tendon (AT) length change may
increase, resulting in increased tendon strain energy return with each step. AT elongation …

The return of tendon strain energy is thought to contribute to reducing the energy cost of
running (Erun). However, this may not be consistent with the notion that increased Achilles …

Based on the current literature, the link between Achilles tendon moment arm length and
running economy is not well understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to further …

Background During the stance phase of running, the elasticity of the Achilles tendon enables
the utilisation of elastic energy and allows beneficial contractile conditions for the triceps …

Simple Summary The Achilles tendon influences the running economy because of its ability
to store and release strain energy, and it remains one of the most vulnerable tendons among …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between running
performance (best official record in a 5000 m race) and elastic properties of tendon …

The present study examined the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the Achilles tendon in
subjects who repeatedly exposed their tendons to large loads (habitual runners) compared …

Achilles tendon structure differs between trained distance runners and healthy controls, but
the progression of tendon remodeling over the course of a competitive season is poorly …
