Mechanical properties of the patellar tendon in elite volleyball players with and without patellar tendinopathy

TL;DR: Patellar tendinopathy is associated with a decrease in the mechanical and material properties of the tendon in elite athletes subjected to a high volume of jumping activity, however, compared with their healthy counterparts, tendinopathic volleyball players have a better ability to utilise the stretch-shortening cycle when jumping.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of androgenic-anabolic steroids and heavy strength training on patellar tendon morphological and mechanical properties.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that tendon adaptations from years of heavy resistance training are different in AAS users, suggesting differences in collagen remodeling, which could be linked to a higher risk of tendon injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of individualised sprint training in elite female team sport athletes: A pilot study.

TL;DR: Eleven elite female handball players performed two weekly sprint training sessions over eight weeks in addition to their regular handball practice to evaluate whether an individualised sprint-training program was more effective in improving sprint performance in elite team-sport players compared to a generalised sprint -training program.
Journal ArticleDOI

Training Strategies to Improve Muscle Power: Is Olympic-style Weightlifting Relevant?

TL;DR: MSPT was time-efficient and equally or more effective than FSPT training in improving vertical jumping and sprinting performance and OWL was generally ineffective and inferior to the two other interventions.
