The amazing benefits of biologic springs like the Achilles tendon

13 min•20 april 2022

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!
