Tendons, Dynamic Movement, and Rehab with Matt McInnes Watson and Derek Garza
Jacked Athlete Podcast
Comparing Drop Jumps and Depth Jumps for Tendon Response
Matt contrasts reactive drop jumps (brief, stiff response) with depth jumps (longer ground contact, more compliant time-for-organization).

Takeaways
Dynamic movement is crucial for rehabilitation. ACL rehabilitation requires a focus on compliance and stiffness. Volume is more important than intensity in training. Understanding knee and ankle dynamics is essential for plyometrics. Child development provides insights into effective movement patterns. Technology plays a significant role in athletic performance. Gradual return to plyometrics is vital post-injury. Tendon mechanics are complex and require careful consideration. Rehabilitation should be tailored to individual needs and backgrounds. A comprehensive approach to training enhances recovery and performance. Dynamic movement is crucial for maintaining tendon health. Tendon issues often arise from manmade training practices. Injury prevention can be achieved through consistent dynamic training. The balance between stiffness and compliance in tendons is essential for performance. Training surfaces can significantly impact athletic performance and injury risk. Shin splints are often misunderstood and can be linked to training practices. Relaxation during athletic performance can enhance efficiency and reduce injury risk. Long-term tendon adaptations require consistent and varied training. Overload is necessary for tendon adaptation and health. Good training is simply regressed good training, keeping all aspects in mind.
