Quantification of patellar tendon strain and opportunities for personalized tendon loading during back squats
Abstract Tendon strain during exercise is a critical regulatory factor in tendon adaptive responses and there are indications for an optimal range of strain that promotes tendon adaptation. Back squats are used to improve patellar tendon properties in sport and clinical settings. To date, the operat...
