Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will be looking at acute changes in Achilles tendon properties and changes in a vertical single leg hop following an exercise intervention. The three exercise interventions will be randomized and take place on separate days 1 week apart. The three exercise interventions are AAROM, slow load, and plyometrics.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of the study is to determine if there are acute changes in Achilles tendon properties and changes in performance based on what tendon exercise intervention is being used. About 70 people will take part in this research.
