Imbalances in the development of muscle and tendon as risk factor for tendinopathies in youth athletes: a review of current evidence and concepts of prevention
Tendons feature the crucial role to transmit the forces exerted by the muscles to the skeleton.
Thus, an increase of the force generating capacity of a muscle needs to go in line with a …
