Muscle-Tendon Unit Properties during Eccentric Exercise Correlate with the Creatine Kinase Response

Muscle-Tendon Unit Properties during Eccentric Exercise Correlate with the Creatine Kinase Response

Aim: The aim of this paper was to determine whether; (1) patella tendon stiffness, (2) the magnitude of vastus lateralis fascicle lengthening, and (3) eccentric torque correlate with markers of exercise induced muscle damage.Method: Combining dynamometry and ultrasonography, patella tendon propertie...
