Faster movement speed results in greater tendon strain during the loaded squat exercise

Introduction: Tendon dynamics influence movement performance and provides the stimulus for long-term tendon adaptation. As tendon strain increases with load magnitude and decreases with loading rate, changes in movement speed during exercise should influence tendon strain. Methods: Ten resistance...
