Dr Gerard McMahon talks strength training for tendons!

from Movement Optimism

Dr Gerard McMahon is a sports scientist out of Ulster University with a special interest in how we can train tendons for both performance and rehab. We talk: Partial range vs full range squats for vertical jump   Partial range vs long range training to build tendon mechanical properties (e.g stiffness)   Is there a sweetspot for tendon loading (e.g 4.5-6% strain) and why it may be greater than this range.   Why knowing the actual tendon strain may not be required to prescribe exercises to increase tendon stiffness and strength   Dr McMahon's Ulster University Profile
