Ultrasound (US) is an important imaging tool for skeletal muscle analysis. The advantages of
US include point-of-care access, real-time imaging, cost-effectiveness, and absence of …

Objective To compare the effectiveness of progressive tendon-loading exercises (PTLE) with
eccentric exercise therapy (EET) in patients with patellar tendinopathy (PT). Methods In a …

A chilles (AT) and patellar tendons (PT) are commonly affected by tendinopathy in adult
athletes but prevalence of symptoms and morphological changes in adolescents is unclear …

Background Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is one of the most common knee disorders among
athletes. Changes in morphology and elasticity of the painful tendon and how these relate to …

Background High tendon strain leads to sub-rupture fatigue damage and net-catabolic
signaling upon repetitive loading. While high levels of tendon strain occur in adolescent …

Patellar tendinopathy (PT), a condition also described as “jumper's knee”, is a frequent injury
associated to sporting activities that involve jum** or running, as well as sudden changes …

Objective: Eccentric exercise is commonly used as a form of loading exercise for individuals
with patellar tendinopathy. This study investigated the change of mechanical properties and …

Track cyclists are required to perform short-and long-term efforts during sprint and
endurance race events, respectively. The 200 m flying sprint races require maximal power …

This study aimed to examine the temporal dynamics of muscle–tendon adaptation and
whether differences between their sensitivity to mechano‐metabolic stimuli would lead to …

Objectives (1) To determine the association between patellar tendon stiffness and the
presence of patellar tendinopathy (PT).(2) To evaluate the reliability of shear-wave …
