The Achilles tendon stores and releases strain energy, influencing running economy. The
present study aims to verify the influence of the Achilles tendon tangent modulus, as a …

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 …

Background Load and joint kinematics change with differences in running surface. Running
regularly on trails compared to roads might influence the load on the Achilles tendon and its …

This study aimed to determine the relationship between Achilles tendon (AT) length and
running performance, including running economy, in well‐trained endurance runners. We …

Context: Tendon adapts to load through alterations in its composition and mechanical
properties. Mechanical adaptation to increased load often involves increases in cross …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Achilles tendon
properties and foot strike patterns in long-distance runners. Forty-one highly trained male …

Achilles tendinopathy was reported to have the highest incidence proportion of all running-
related injuries. The purpose of this study was to analyse the association between the …

Objectives To observe the changes in Achilles tendon structure in novice runners, with
loading prescriptions of 100% body weight compared to 20% body weight. Design …

A better understanding of the strains experienced by the Achilles tendon during commonly
prescribed exercises and locomotor tasks is needed to improve efficacy of Achilles tendon …

This study examined the relationship between Achilles tendon (AT) length and 100-m sprint
time in sprinters. The AT lengths at 3 different portions of the triceps surae muscle in 48 well …
