This is one of my favourite narrative expert reviews that discusses the benefits of human biologic springs like the Achilles tendon. These benefits can be summarised as follows:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Metabolic energy conservation</li> <li>Amplification of muscle power output</li> <li>Attenuation of muscle power input</li> </ul> Some really interesting mechanisms and insights for rehabilitation . I hope you enjoy! Here is the link to the study: Roberts, T.J. and Azizi, E., 2011. Flexible mechanisms: the diverse roles of biological springs in vertebrate movement.&nbsp;Journal of experimental biology,&nbsp;214(3), pp.353-361.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Central pain processing and Achilles tendinopathy

This podcast will delve deep into the best and most clinically relevant new studies on tendinopathy. The focus is what questions the researchers tried to answer and why, how they did it, what they found, and very importantly, the so what factor. That is, how can it be applied to the clinic and to individual tendinopathy patients.
