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) 🔓 @BJSM_BMJ

Despite the high prevalence of tendon pathology in athletes, the underlying pathogenesis is still poorly understood. Various aetiological theories have been presented and rejected in the past, but...

@gerdy_mac @ProfJillCook @scotmorrsn @OSPpatrick @pdkirwan 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".

@scotmorrsn @OSPpatrick @pdkirwan 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

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 🫡

@PhysioNetwork @ProfJillCook 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 🙏

@Fit_For_Golf 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.

@BJSM_BMJ @ProfJillCook @MuscleScience here's evidence to say that in PT of humans X links were unrelated to the mechanical properties of that area of the tendon. https://t.co/Xu3CNARSnm

@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.
