Abstract
The decrease in echotypes III and IV suggest that moderate loads can be applied to the Achilles tendon without compromising tendon structure. Low to moderate loads may be beneficial in the management of Achilles tendinopathy. Further studies should focus on protocols with higher loading and/or repetitive loading in athletic populations with and without Achilles tendinopathy to assess any differences in tendon structure.
