This review focuses on two distinct but related conditions: midportion Achilles tendinopathy
and insertional Achilles tendinopathy. They are characterised by localised pain (Figure 1) …

Tendinopathies are challenging conditions frequent in athletes and in middle-aged

Objectives To compare the efficacy of inertial flywheel and heavy slow resistance training in
reducing pain and improving function in patellar tendinopathy. Design Randomised clinical …

Objectives The primary purpose of this systematic review is to examine the literature on
resistance training interventions for lower limb tendinopathy to evaluate the proportion of …

Musculoskeletal tissues, including tendons, are sensitive to their mechanical environment,
with both excessive and insufficient loading resulting in reduced tissue strength. Tendons …

Therapeutic exercise is widely considered a first line fundamental treatment option for
managing tendinopathies. As the Achilles tendon is critical for locomotion, chronic Achilles …

The Achilles tendon (AT) is the strongest tendon in humans, yet it often suffers from injury.
The mechanical properties of the AT afford efficient movement, power amplification and …
