The amazing benefits of biologic springs like the Achilles tendon
Listen now
Description
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:
Metabolic energy conservation
Amplification of muscle power output
Attenuation of muscle power input
Some really interesting mechanisms and insights for rehabilitation . I hope you enjoy!
