Exciting new insights into tendon adaptation with load

On this episode I focus on a new study from my PhD student Eman Merza. It is a cross-over randomised trial testing the effect of high and low contraction time and high and low intensity isometric contractions on acute changes to tendon volume and stiffness.

Some very interesting potential insights for tendon adaptation. Good work, Eman!

Hope you enjoy.
