Background The present article systematically reviews recent literature on the in vivo
adaptation of asymptomatic human tendons following increased chronic mechanical …

Introduction Achilles and patellar tendinopathy are overuse injuries that are common among
athletes. Isolated eccentric muscle training has become the dominant conservative …

Isometric training is used in the rehabilitation and physical preparation of athletes, special
populations, and the general public. However, little consensus exists regarding training …

A tendon transfers force from the contracting muscle to the skeletal system to produce
movement and is therefore a crucial component of the entire muscle‐tendon complex and its …

Mechanical Loading in Tendon Development, Maintenance, Injury, and Repair : JBJS JBJS …

Conventional sports training emphasizes adequate training of muscle fibres, of
cardiovascular conditioning and/or neuromuscular coordination. Most sports-associated …

The exceptional mechanical properties of the load-bearing connection of tendon to bone
rely on an intricate interplay of its biomolecular composition, microstructure and …

Tendons transmit skeletal muscle forces to bone and are essential in all voluntary
movement. In turn, movement appears to affect tendon properties, and in recent years …

Tendinopathy is a very common disorder in both recreational and elite athletes. Many
individuals have recurrent symptoms that lead to chronic conditions and termination of …

Background Exposure to increased mechanical loading during physical training can lead to
increased tendon stiffness. However, the loading regimen that maximises tendon adaptation …
