Measuring Hamstring Muscle-Tendon Unit Geometry
Measuring Hamstring Muscle-Tendon Unit Geometry
Check out this PhD Pinboard blog post hosted by Sports Science legend Jo Clubb where Steph explores the impact of training on hamstring muscle-tendon unit geometry.
How to maximise tendon adaptation for sports performance
How to maximise tendon adaptation for sports performance
Steph writes for Sportsmith on the topic of tendon adaptation, which programming variables seem optimal, and covers some common misconceptions regarding contraction modes.
