TL;DR: Plyometric training has been shown here to provide similar benefits to that of plyometric training with respect to the measured variables, but with reduced impact forces, and would therefore provide a useful adjunct for athletic training programs within a 6-week time frame.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide recommendations for sampling, eDNA capture, inhibition testing, and laboratory practice, which should aid new and ongoing eDNA projects in ponds and contribute towards an eventual broad standardisation of eDNA research and practice, with room to tailor workflows for optimal analysis and different applications.

TL;DR: The gender specific values of σ, ε, K, and E of the patellar tendon are determined in vivo through voluntary isometric contractions monitored with B‐mode ultrasonography to determine whether there are gender differences in tendon structural and mechanical properties.

TL;DR: Contraction duration significantly affects tendon strain and associated measures of stiffness at all levels of force, indicating that in order to compare tendon mechanical properties within or across studies, duration of contraction must be standardised.

TL;DR: The present results show that stretching acutely reduces stiffness of the medial gastrocnemius tendon in females and males, with females showing significantly greater change.
