Takeaways

  • Taylor Starch has been in the strength and conditioning industry for about 15 years.
  • His interest in tendons grew from personal injuries and working with military athletes.
  • Understanding tendons requires recognizing their complexity and variability.
  • Different tissues in the body respond to different types of training.
  • Tendons need strain to gain strength and resilience.
  • Training should not just focus on one position or angle.
  • Low intensity durability is crucial for tendon health.
  • High intensity repeatability helps in sustaining performance under strain.
  • The bigger the base of connective tissue strength, the higher the peak performance.
  • Innovative training methods can help address specific tendon issues effectively. Endurance athletes experience significant tendon strain but manage it effectively.
  • Connective tissue behavior is crucial for injury prevention.
  • Genetics play a role in tendon health and injury susceptibility.
  • Assessing connective tissue is essential for understanding injury risk.
  • Training should focus on restoring normal connective tissue architecture.
  • Manipulating load, length, and time is key to adaptation.
  • Static training is often overlooked in favor of dynamic work.
  • Integrating multiple training qualities is necessary for performance.
  • Understanding adaptations is more important than just knowing exercises.
  • Progressive overload is essential for long-term connective tissue health.
