A longer Achilles tendon moment arm length is not associated with superior hopping performance
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Variability in musculoskeletal and lower leg structure has the potential to influence hopping height. Achilles tendon moment arm length and plantarflexor muscle strength can influence ankle joint torque development and, consequently, hopping performance.

A Novel Method to Assess Subject-Specific Architecture of the Achilles Tendon In Vivo in Humans. [PDF]
Scand J Med Sci SportsABSTRACT The Achilles tendon (AT) comprises three subtendons whose relative locations, and respective lines of action, vary individually. This study was aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of a novel method, combining Ultrasound and electrical STIMulation (USTIM), to identify the in vivo location of individual subtendons in cross‐sections of the AT.

Insights into muscle metabolic energetics: Modelling muscle-tendon mechanics and metabolic rates during walking across speeds [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Prior studies have produced models to predict metabolic rates based on experimental observations of isolated muscle contraction from various species. Such models can provide reliable predictions of metabolic rates in humans if muscle properties and control are accurately modeled.
