Interesting thread
Every tendon is different in each person
Subtleties in load prescription is the key skill of the clinician

Latest from myself & @ProfJillCook in @SportsMedicineJ where we discuss sex differences in patella & achilles tendons & what it may, or may not, mean for tendon health. #tendon #mechanicalproperties #morphology #injury

📚 Background
This paper builds on a conceptual framework, in which we explored the potential role of intratendinous pressure in the pathogenesis of tendinopathy. (2/9)

Beyond evidence, duration, protocols or opinions:
- Exercise selection is key. Single joint better than complex kinetic chain positions for ISOs.
- Quality should be the threshold: if you start compensating or shaking after 12", it's useless to maintain for 30 , 45 or 60".

for healthy tendons it's N/A. can get 👌 adaptation frm little as 1s. No evidence 30s is *needed*. Short- mod duration (5-15s) with rest may be 🔑 for maintaining strain. >30s seems 2b v specific for unhealthy tendon bt is severely lacking in quality human intervention data

Congratulations to Jodie Dakic for winning the coveted Wendy Ey Award for Best Paper on Women in Sport. #ASICSSMA2023
Jodie's winning paper was "Women’s preferences for pelvic floor screening in sports: a mixed methods study integrating survey and interview data."

But I think with multiple studies now suggesting we are reaching well over 10% AT strain that
1. AT failure strain is not 10%
2. Unlikely that strains >7-8% are catabolic in nature.
as always more studies and info needed 🫡

Superb thread, Jill was the persons work I read like hell when I had patella Tendon problems in 2017, followed all these stages and was fixed 9-10 month later! Have since helped tons of athletes with similar issues rehab successfully as my role as a coach, big hats of to Jill 🙏

yea could be that pathology was already established and therefore ticking timebomb. @ProfJillCook the best to give u insights. Plus as Jill has said to me many times- tendons don't like rest, so intermittent intense load not a good idea likely.

The ISTS community are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Ángel Basas and his son Carlos. Our thoughts are with their family and friends. May they rest in peace ❤️

here's evidence to say that in PT of humans X links were unrelated to the mechanical properties of that area of the tendon.

Replying to @BJSM_BMJ @ProfJillCook
Can @MuscleScience plz provide evidence in humans that HSRT breaks ×-links. If ×-links are a major modulator of stiffness - how does HSR in humans ⬇️ ×-links yet HSR is the best intervention to ⬆️ stiffness? Completely contradicts large body of evidence in human training studies.
