Show Notes
Dr Gerard McMahon is a sports scientist out of Ulster University with a special interest in how we can train tendons for both performance and rehab.
We talk:
Partial range vs full range squats for vertical jump
Partial range vs long range training to build tendon mechanical properties (e.g stiffness)
Is there a sweetspot for tendon loading (e.g 4.5-6% strain) and why it may be greater than this range.
Why knowing the actual tendon strain may not be required to prescribe exercises to increase tendon stiffness and strength
