Aquatic Training after Joint Immobilization in Rats Promotes Adaptations in Myotendinous Junctions

The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is the muscle-tendon interface and constitutes an integrated mechanical unit to force transmission. Joint immobilization promotes muscle atrophy via disuse, while physical exercise can be used as an adaptative stimulus. In this study, we aimed to investigate the compo...
