Effects of ageing on Achilles tendon properties and triceps surae muscle architecture in vivo
Stenroth, Lauri (2012)Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in human body and it has an important role in human locomotion. Ageing is associated with lowered muscle function and the changes in tendon properties could have a major role in ... -
Repeatability and sensitivity of passive mechanical stiffness measurements in the triceps surae muscle‐tendon complex
Walker, Josh; Bissas, Athanassios; Wainwright, Barney; Hanley, Brian; Cronin, Neil J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)Measurements of muscle-tendon unit passive mechanical properties are often used to illustrate acute and chronic responses to a training stimulus. The purpose of this study was to quantify the inter-session repeatability ... -

Medial gastrocnemius muscle fascicle function during heel-rise after non-operative repair of Achilles tendon rupture
van Dijk, Koen; Khair, Raad M.; Sukanen, Maria; Cronin, Neil J.; Finni, Taija (Elsevier BV, 2023)Background To better understand muscle remodelling in dynamic conditions after an Achilles tendon rupture, this study examined the length of medial gastrocnemius muscle fascicles during a heel-rise at 6- and 12-months ... -
Conditioning hops increase triceps surae muscle force and Achilles tendon strain energy in the stretch-shortening cycle
Kümmel, Jakob; Cronin, Neil; Kramer, Andreas; Avela, Janne; Gruber, Markus (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018)Postactivation potentiation can improve athletic performance, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This study investigated the effect of conditioning hops on triceps surae muscle force and tendon strain and ...
