• Alpine skiing with total knee arthroplasty (ASWAP): effect on tendon properties 

      Kösters, Alexander; Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Dorn, U.; Hofstaedter, T.; Fink, Christian; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-10)
      The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of alpine skiing on patellar tendon properties in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Thirty-one adults (70.4 ± 4.7 years) with unilateral TKA were recruited ...
    • Immediate effects of whole body vibration on patellar tendon properties and knee extension torque 

      Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03)
      Purpose: Reports about the immediate effects of whole body vibration (WBV) exposure upon torque production capacity are inconsistent. However, the changes in the torque–angle relationship observed by some authors after WBV ...
    • Whole-body vibration training induces hypertrophy of the human patellar tendon 

      Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-15)
      Animal studies suggest that regular exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) induces an anabolic response in bone and tendon. However, the effects of this type of intervention on human tendon properties and its influence on ...
