BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MUSCLE-TENDOM UNIT AND TRAINING APPLICATION
Abstract
A large number of human movement studies have focused on complex biological systems functioning. These systems can be observe as one muscle-tendon unit or one muscle fiber, one limb or joint, or whole locomotor system presented as kinetics chain. Muscle-tendon systems may generate forces in two distinctly different ways: as an elastic-like spring in stretch-shortening motion and as converters of metabolic energy into mechanical work. Furthermore, during movement muscle-tendon unit can be stiff or compliant. Understanding these condition during human movement would provide important information that could be used for sports performance improvement and injury prevention planing.
Key words: Strain energy, Stiffness, Compliance.
