DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2021.110364
Abstract: Differences in the adaptation processes between muscle and tendon in response to mechanical loading can lead to non-uniform mechanical properties within the muscle-tendon unit (MTU), potentially increasing injury risk. The current study analysed the mechanical… read more here.
