Neuromuscular and structural tendon adaptations after 6 weeks of either concentric or eccentric exercise in individuals with non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy: protocol for a randomised controlled trial by Deborah Falla, Eduardo Martinez-Valdes, Ignacio Contreras-Hernandez

“…Introduction There is limited evidence on the neural strategies employed by the central nervous system to control muscle force in the presence of non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy (NIAT). Additionally, the neuromuscular mechanisms by which exercise may help to resolve tendon pain remain unclear.Objective This study aims to first establish changes in the gastrocnemius-soleus motor unit firing properties after applying a training protocol of 6 weeks based on either controlled eccentric or concentric contractions in individuals with NIAT. …”

The Influence of Different Modes of Exercise on Healthy and Injured Tendons by Kaiyong Wang, Linlin Zhao

“…Therefore, research on the influence of types of exercise, including acute and long-term training, on the structural and mechanical properties of tendons in athletic and sedentary populations is of critical importance in the design of scientific-based exercise plans and effective tendinopathy treatment. Here, we review recent studies on the relationship between exercise and tendon health and tendinopathy repair to provide a general understanding of how exercise may reshape tendons.…”
