This is one of my favourite narrative expert reviews that discusses the benefits of human biologic springs like the Achilles tendon. These benefits can be summarised as follows:
Metabolic energy conservation
Amplification of muscle power output
Attenuation of muscle power input
Some really interesting mechanisms and insights for rehabilitation . I hope you enjoy!
