This study examined the concurrent age-related differences in muscle and tendon structure
and properties. Achilles tendon morphology and mechanical properties and triceps surae …

Previous studies have shown that aging is associated with alterations in muscle architecture
and tendon properties (Morse CI, Thom JM, Birch KM, Narici MV. Acta Physiol Scand 183 …

The Achilles tendon cross-sectional area (CSA), tensile force, and stress during an isometric
contraction were examined in healthy young (n= 9, age= 29±1 years, mean±SEM) and …

Ageing is associated with alterations in the structure and function of the contractile and
elastic tissues that enable movement, posture, and balance. Alterations in structure and …

The stiffness of a tendon, which influences muscular force transfer to the skeleton and
increases during childhood, is dependent on its material properties and dimensions, both of …

The purpose of this study was to investigate middle-age effects on Achilles displacement
patterns under passive stretch and eccentric loading. Healthy young (24.1±1.4 years, n= 9) …

Purpose To document the magnitude and time course of human Achilles tendon adaptations
(ie changes in tendon morphological and mechanical properties) during a 12-week high …

Whether the cross-sectional area (CSA) and mechanical properties of the human Achilles
tendon change in response to habitual exercise remains largely unexplored. The present …

Senile sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass associated with aging, is one of the main causes
of muscle weakness and reduced locomotor ability in old age. Although this condition is …

Tendons are elastic structures that connect muscle to the skeletal system and transmit force
relative to the amount of stretch they experience. The mechanical properties of human …
