Distinct muscle-tendon interaction during running at different speeds and in different loading conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The interaction between the Achilles tendon and the triceps surae muscles seems to be modulated differently with various task configurations. Here we tested the hypothesis that the increased forces and ankle joint work ... -
Effects of increased loading on in vivo tendon properties: a systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09)Introduction: In vivo measurements have been used in the past two decades to investigate the effects of increased loading on tendon properties, yet the current understanding of tendon macroscopic changes to training is ... -
Heterogeneous loading of the human achilles tendon in Vivo
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-10)The free Achilles tendon is considered a homogenous structure that transmits muscular force in a linear manner. However, the tendon undergoes longitudinal rotation and is separated in mechanically independent segments with ... -
Imaging of plantar fascia and Achilles injuries undertaken at the London 2012 Olympics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-01)Plantar fascia and distal Achilles injuries are common in elite athletes. Acute athletic injuries of the plantar fascia include acute plantar fasciopathy and partial or complete tears. Underlying most acute injuries is a ... -
Plantarflexor muscle function in healthy and chronic Achilles tendon pain subjects evaluated by the use of EMG and PET imaging
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-05)Achilles tendon pathologies may alter the coordinative strategies of synergistic calf muscles. We hypothesized that both surface electromyography and positron emission tomography would reveal differences between symptomatic ... -
Similar patterns of tendon regional hypertrophy after low-load blood flow restriction and high-load resistance training
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: Recent evidence indicates that low-load blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) training elicits an anabolic response in tendinous tissue. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the hypertrophic pattern induced ... -
Training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness affects tendon strain pattern during running
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)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 surae muscles. However, the effect ...
