Achilles Tendon Mechanical Behavior and Ankle Joint Function at the Walk-to-Run Transition

Achilles Tendon Mechanical Behavior and Ankle Joint Function at the Walk-to-Run Transition

Walking at speeds higher than transition speed is associated with a decrease in the plantar-flexor muscle fibres’ ability to produce force and, potentially, to an impaired behaviour of the muscle–tendon unit (MTU) elastic components. This study aimed to investigate the ankle joint functional indexes...
