• Muscle‐tendon morphology and function following long‐term exposure to repeated and strenuous mechanical loading 

  Bissas, Athanassios; Havenetidis, Konstantinos; Walker, Josh; Hanley, Brian; Nicholson, Gareth; Metaxas, Thomas; Christoulas, Kosmas; Cronin, Neil J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)

  We mapped structural and functional characteristics of muscle‐tendon units in a population exposed to very long‐term routine overloading. Twenty‐eight military academy cadets (age: 21.00 ± 1.1 yrs; height: 176.1 ± 4.8 cm; ...

• 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 ...

• 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 ...

• The reliability of measuring medial gastrocnemius muscle-tendon unit lengths during gait 

  Cenni, Francesco; Schless, Simon-Henri; Adams, Heleen; Bar-On, Lynn; Desloovere, Kaat (Elsevier BV, 2021)

  Background Ultrasound imaging combined with 3D motion analysis allows for in-vivo assessment of muscle-tendon unit lengths during gait. The clinical relevance of analysing the medial gastrocnemius (MG) and Achilles ...

• Muscle-tendon mechanics and energetics during walking, running and jumping. 

  Finni Juutinen, Taija; Cronin, Neil (Australian Catholic University, Melbourne, 115 Victoria, 2012)

  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 ...
