Advance in Mechanical Load for Muscle and Tendon Stiffness (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

The stiffness can respond to the function of muscle and tendon. Resistance training leads to the change of muscle-tendon stiffness, and various with the patterns and strength of contraction. This paper reviewed the impacts of mechanical load on stiffness of muscle and tendon, to explore the adaptation of muscle and tendon to mechanical load.
