In the human lower limb, muscles and tendon tend to interact in an efficient manner during common movements like walking, running and jumping. This pattern of interaction exploits the ability of muscles to produce forces efficiently at low shortening velocities, whilst tendons act as springs that help to store elastic energy during the contact phase, and return a large proportion of the energy in the pushoff phase. This pattern of muscletendon interaction can be disrupted in novel tasks or as a consequence of ageing or disease, resulting in a decrease in movement efficiency.

Distinct muscle-tendon interaction during running at different speeds and in different loading conditions
Werkhausen, Amelie; Cronin, Neil; Albracht, Kirsten; Bojsen-Møller, Jens; Seynnes, Olivier R. (American Physiological Society, 2019)The interaction between the Achilles tendon and the triceps surae muscles seems to be modulated differently with various task configurations. Here we tested the hypothesis that the increased forces and ankle joint work ... -
Effects of muscle action type on corticospinal excitability and triceps surae muscle-tendon mechanics
Valadão, Pedro Frederico (2014)The present study was designed to investigate corticospinal excitability modulation during maximum isometric and eccentric muscle actions with two different velocities. Moreover, the study aimed to clarify the effect of ... -
Effects of Muscle Action Type on Corticospinal Excitability and Triceps Surae Muscle-Tendon Mechanics
Frederico Valadao, Pedro; Kurokawa, Sadao; Finni Juutinen, Taija; Avela, Janne (American Physiological Society, 2018)This study investigated whether the specific motor control strategy reported for eccentric muscle actions is dependent on muscle mechanical behavior. Motor evoked potentials, Hoffman reflex (H-reflex), fascicle length, ... -

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 ...
