Nice write up on our new study "runners should ‘lean into it’ — but not too much." The study was published in PLOS One first author Nina Carson PT, DPT, OCS Cal Poly Humboldt, article from USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences dornsife.usc.edu/news-briefs/ne…

At lower loads, aging does not impact the mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon, but due to strength-related differences young and older adults operate at different regions of the tendon stress-strain curve.
