Effect of eccentric training on biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon
Background: This demonstrated the effectiveness of eccentric exercise in the rehabilitation of Achilles tendinitis, on pain and function, but not known, the biomechanical changes that occur in the tendon, which can explain this evidence. Methods: A group of 17 healthy men, with 43.76 ± 8.03 years performed eccentric exercise training of plantiflexors with one leg and concentric…
