How do differences in Achilles’ tendon moment arm lengths affect muscle-tendon dynamics and energy cost during running?
IntroductionThe relationship between the Achilles tendon moment arm length (ATMA) and the energy cost of running (Erun) has been disputed. Some studies suggest a short ATMA reduces Erun while others claim a long ATMA reduces Erun. For a given ankle joint moment, a short ATMA permits a higher tendon...
