ImpactNeutral impact

The overall impact appears moderate, as discussions revolve around sharing resources rather than direct critiques or applications.

Abstract in brief

  • As people age, there are typical decreases in muscle strength and tendon stiffness in the leg muscles, mainly due to changes in the tendons' material properties rather than size.
  • Tendons can still respond positively to mechanical loading exercises, even in older adults, with studies showing improvements in tendon properties after 12-14 weeks of targeted training.
  • To effectively counteract age-related declines, interventions should involve high loading exercises, such as 80-90% maximum voluntary contraction, performed repeatedly over several months to improve the biomechanics of the leg's muscle-tendon units.]

@JamesSteeleII I don't think this will have everything you are looking for but see what you think (see Figure 1). If it might be useful and can try to find the files with the data we extracted. The literature included is nnot necessarily exhaustive or up to date anymore. https://t.co/ETGHpYfKW8
