Takeaways
Dr. Falk Mersman leads a research group in tendon adaptation.
The Berlin Method is based on systematic investigation of tendon factors.
Tendon adaptation is primarily strain mediated.
High training volume does not necessarily lead to better tendon adaptation.
High strain rates can lead to localized tendon failure.
Genetic factors may influence tendon adaptation responses.
Personalized training approaches can help balance muscle and tendon adaptation.
Viscoelastic properties of tendons affect cellular responses.
Tendon creep is a consideration in training protocols.
Not all elite athletes experience tendon overuse injuries. Tendons exhibit stress relaxation but not creep effects under loading.
Longer contraction durations may be more effective for tendon stiffness.
Personalization in rehabilitation is crucial for tendinopathy patients.
Pain management in tendinopathy is complex and requires tailored approaches.
The Berlin Method integrates various loading factors for tendon adaptation.
Muscle-tendon imbalances can lead to overuse injuries in athletes.
Plyometric training is essential for enhancing sports performance.
Regular tendon training can improve structural integrity and reduce injury risk.
High intensity loading may not always be necessary for tendon adaptation.
Understanding individual responses to loading is key in rehabilitation.
