  • Title: Relationship between muscle fiber type and tendon properties in young males.
    Author: Kubo K, Ikebukuro T.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2010 Jul; 42(1):127-9. PubMed ID: 20544942.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the estimated muscle fiber type and tendon properties in human knee extensors and plantar flexors (n = 50). Measurements included time-to-peak twitch torque (TPT) and tendon properties. TPT did not correlate significantly with the maximal elongation and stiffness of tendon. In conclusion, we found that the muscle fiber type was not related to the properties of tendons.
