Training-induced changes in structural and mechanical properties of the patellar tendon are related to muscle hypertrophy but not to strength gains - PubMed

To obtain a better understanding of the adaptations of human tendon to chronic overloading, we examined the relationships between these adaptations and the changes in muscle structure and function. Fifteen healthy male subjects (20+/-2 yr) underwent 9 wk of knee extension resistance training. Patell…
