Are sport-specific profiles of tendon stiffness and cross-sectional area determined by structural or functional integrity?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-30)The present study aimed to determine whether distinct sets of tendon properties are seen in athletes engaged in sports with contrasting requirements for tendon function and structural integrity. Patellar and Achilles tendon ... -
Concurrent validity and intrarater reliability of two ultrasound-based methods for assessing patellar tendon stiffness
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction: Assessment of tendon stiffness in vivo traditionally involves maximal muscle contractions, which can be challenging in pain populations. Alternative methods are suggested, although the clinimetric properties ... -
Effects of heavy strength training on running performance and determinants of running performance in female endurance athletes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-08)Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of adding strength training to normal endurance training on running performance and running economy in well-trained female athletes. We hypothesized ... -
Effects of specific collagen peptide supplementation combined with resistance training on Achilles tendon properties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of specific collagen peptides (SCP) combined with resistance training (RT) on changes in tendinous and muscular properties. In a randomized, placebo-controlled study, ... -
Recovery from Achilles Tendon Repair: A Combination of Postsurgery Outcomes and Insufficient Remodeling of Muscle and Tendon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction: Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) patients have persistent functional deficits in the triceps surae muscle–tendon unit (MTU). The complex remodeling of the MTU accompanying these deficits remains poorly understood. ... -
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 ...
