Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of resistance and stretching training programmes on the viscoelastic properties of human tendon structures in vivo
TL;DR: It is suggested that the resistance training increased the stiffness of tendon structures as well as muscle strength and size, and the stretching training affected the viscosity of tendon structure but not the elasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of plyometric and weight training on muscle-tendon complex and jump performance.
Keitaro Kubo,Masanori Morimoto,Teruaki Komuro,Hideaki Yata,Naoya Tsunoda,Hiroaki Kanehisa,Tetsuo Fukunaga +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the jump performance gains after plyometric training are attributed to changes in the mechanical properties of muscle-tendon complex, rather than to the muscle activation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in the viscoelastic properties of tendon structures
TL;DR: There are gender differences in the viscoelastic properties of tendon structures and that these might in part account for previously observed performance differences between the genders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in muscle size, architecture, and neural activation after 20 days of bed rest with and without resistance exercise.

TL;DR: The results suggest that reduction of muscle strength by BR is affected by a decreased ability to activate motor units, and that the exercise used in the present experiment is effective as a countermeasure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of stretching training on the viscoelastic properties of human tendon structures in vivo
TL;DR: It is suggested that stretching training affected the viscosity of tendon structures but not the elasticity, and the stretching training produced no significant change in stiffness but significantly decreased hysteresis.
