Tendinous Tissue Adaptation to Explosive- vs. Sustained-Contraction Strength Training

Tendinous Tissue Adaptation to Explosive- vs. Sustained-Contraction Strength Training

The effect of different strength training regimes, and in particular training utilizing brief explosive contractions, on tendinous tissue properties is poorly understood. This study compared the efficacy of 12 weeks of knee extensor explosive-contraction (ECT; n = 14) vs. sustained-contraction (SCT;...
