The role of muscle tendon unit elasticity in real life activities

The interaction of a muscle and associated tendon during dynamic activities such as locomotion is critical for both force production and economical movement. It is generally assumed that, under sub-maximal conditions, muscle activation patterns are optimised to achieve maximum efficiency of work. He...
