Abstract in brief

This study found that 12 weeks of isometric squat training increased quadriceps muscle strength and tendonaponeurosis complex stiffness, with a significant rise in tendon stiffness but not in the patella tendon's stiffness.
The training led to a significant improvement in squat jump (SJ) height but did not significantly affect countermovement jump (CMJ) height, and the difference between the two jump types decreased.
These results suggest that isometric squat training alters tendon stiffness, which may reduce the benefits of muscle prestretch during dynamic jumping activities like CMJ.]
