Dr Gerard McMahon talks strength training for tendons!

Dr Gerard McMahon is a sports scientist out of Ulster University with a special interest in how we can train tendons for both performance and rehab. We talk: Partial range vs full range squats for vertical jump   Partial range vs long range training to build tendon mechanical properties (e.g stiffness)   Is there a sweetspot for tendon loading (e.g 4.5-6% strain) and why it may be greater than this range.   Why knowing the actual tendon strain may not be required to prescribe exercises to increase tendon stiffness and strength   Dr McMahon's Ulster University Profile

A deep dive into the world of exercise, pain and injury with a Movement Optimism spin as opposed to the kinesiopathological model. The traditional view of the human body has considered to be much more akin to car when we should have been viewing like a robust ecosystem. This is a masterclass on critical thinking and hopes to get you challenging your biases as well as ours.
