Takeaways

Gaspar Epro is a senior lecturer and track and field coach. Tendons adapt to training, but the mechanisms are complex. The Berlin Method emphasizes high loads for tendon adaptation. Muscle strength is important, but technique and application matter more. Calf muscles are notoriously difficult to grow in strength. Tendons require time to recover and adapt to training loads. Creep studies on tendons are often conducted in mechanical settings, not in vivo. Tendon strain measurements can vary significantly based on methodology. Individual differences in tendon response necessitate personalized training. Females may experience different tendon adaptations compared to males.
