Building Strong Tendons: Proper Loading Techniques
Properly loading tendons involves different types of muscle contractions, such as isometric exercises, eccentric lowering, and heavy slow resistance training. Isometric exercises, like yielding and overcoming isometrics, are effective for targeting tendon properties without causing significant muscle hypertrophy. Both isometric and heavy slow resistance exercises can be equally beneficial for tendon strength, with the latter also promoting muscle growth in addition to tendon adaptation.
