Relationships between the Mechanical Properties of Patellar Tendons and Quadriceps Strength in Humans
The mechanical and morphological properties of patellar tendons were in vivo measured during isometric knee extension contractions in ten male subjects using ultrasonography. The subjects were accustomed to various exercise and training. The stiffness, cross-sectional area, and tangent modulus of th...
