The influence of 6 weeks of maximal eccentric plantarflexor training on muscle-tendon mechanics [PDF]
Resistance training can influence muscle-tendon properties including strength, flexibility, stretch tolerance and muscle-tendon stiffness; however the specific influence of eccentric-only training is unknown. Therefore, the aims of the present study were

Predictive simulation of single-leg landing scenarios for ACL injury risk factors evaluation [PDF]
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament rupture is a very common knee injury during sport activities. Landing after a jump is one of the most prominent human body movement scenarios that can lead to such an injury. The landing - related Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury risk factors have been in the spotlight of research interest.
