Dorsiflexion restriction can lead to increased knee stress and patellar tendon issues. Landing mechanics significantly affect patellar tendon load during activities. Rehabilitation should focus on the entire kinetic chain, not just the affected tendon. Calf strengthening is crucial for offloading the patellar tendon during rehab. Electrical stimulation can enhance quad activation and reduce pain during rehab. Long-duration isometrics may not be suitable for all patients due to pain responses. BFR training is controversial for lower limb rehabilitation due to potential tendon strain imbalances. The quadriceps tendon may require different loading strategies compared to the patellar tendon. Young athletes with Osgood Schlatter's should avoid excessive stretching and focus on load management.   Rodrigo on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rscattone/ Rodrigo on Twitter: https://x.com/scattonesilva Rodrigo's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/rscattone?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGn_JYxepL7fCxUs2WEpEqJn2n6_pzuA9JJ1ieYRSf-JXqQ94mjf23DD5qRAuU_aem_wWPO4ZJf6VeuoXe52GDTHA Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-159-patellar-and-quadriceps-tendons-with-rodrigo-scattone/

Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Technical Challenges 03:11 Dylan Carmody's Background and Expertise 05:53 The Importance of Calf Research 08:59 Biomechanics of the Calf and Achilles 12:12 Understanding Muscle Function: Soleus vs. Gastrocnemius 14:57 Training Considerations for Calf Muscles 17:47 Injury Mechanisms and Rehabilitation Strategies 20:45 The Role of Aponeurosis in Muscle Function 24:03 Exploring Tendon Strain and Adaptation 27:01 Athletic Performance and Muscle Characteristics 37:03 Exploring the Role of Soleus and Gastrocnemius in Running 42:33 Understanding Tendon Development and Strain in Calf Training 48:34 Calf Training Strategies for Runners 53:27 Assessing Calf Strength and Endurance 58:31 Balancing Muscle and Tendon Work in Training 01:03:37 Seated vs. Standing Calf Raises: A Comparative Analysis 01:10:40 Age and Injury: Calf Strains vs. Achilles Ruptures Takeaways Dylan Carmody is a physical therapist and strength coach. He focuses on calf and Achilles research due to a lack of resources. The calf's biomechanics are easier to study due to its proximity to the ground. Soleus and gastrocnemius have different muscle fiber types and functions. Training should consider the specific muscle and tissue involved in injuries. Injury mechanisms can be complex and involve multiple muscle groups. Aponeurosis plays a significant role in muscle function and injury recovery. Tendon strain is crucial for adaptation and performance. Longer tendons may allow for greater absolute strain during activities. Athletic performance may be influenced by muscle and tendon characteristics. The soleus plays a crucial role in decelerating the shank during running. Tendon development is essential for maintaining calf health and preventing injuries. Calf training should include both heavy and endurance-focused workouts. Assessing calf strength through standardized tests can reveal weaknesses in runners. Seated calf raises may provide more controlled loading than standing raises. Age increases the risk of both calf strains and Achilles ruptures. Effective calf training requires a blend of isometric, eccentric, and concentric exercises. Cluster sets can help achieve higher volumes of calf training without excessive fatigue. Understanding the mechanics of running can inform better training practices for athletes. Injury prevention strategies should consider both muscle and tendon health.   Dylan's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/dylancarmody.dpt Dylan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dylancarmody.dpt/?hl=en Calf E-Book: https://www.informperformance.com/offers/JFS2R2NE/checkout Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-156-calf-achilles-with-dylan-carmody/

ACL rehabilitation requires a focus on compliance and stiffness. Volume is more important than intensity in training. Understanding knee and ankle dynamics is essential for plyometrics. Child development provides insights into effective movement patterns. Technology plays a significant role in athletic performance. Gradual return to plyometrics is vital post-injury. Tendon mechanics are complex and require careful consideration. Rehabilitation should be tailored to individual needs and backgrounds. A comprehensive approach to training enhances recovery and performance. Dynamic movement is crucial for maintaining tendon health. Tendon issues often arise from manmade training practices. Injury prevention can be achieved through consistent dynamic training. The balance between stiffness and compliance in tendons is essential for performance. Training surfaces can significantly impact athletic performance and injury risk. Shin splints are often misunderstood and can be linked to training practices. Relaxation during athletic performance can enhance efficiency and reduce injury risk. Long-term tendon adaptations require consistent and varied training. Overload is necessary for tendon adaptation and health. Good training is simply regressed good training, keeping all aspects in mind.   New York Seminar Oct 25/26: https://www.plusplyos.com/checkout?checkoutId=9455d78c-0e38-3ce9-b146-36e6a4c76434¤cy=USD&contentAppId=324cf725-53d9-4bb2-b8f6-0c8ec9a77f45&contentComponentId=4ca49999-12ba-46d7-8dca-03ee4a6c1b7c Matt on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mcinneswatson/ Matt's website: https://www.plusplyos.com Derek on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.derekpt/ Derek's website: https://www.gridptp.com Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-154-tendons-plyos-and-rehab-with-matt-mcinnes-watson-and-derek-garza/

Physical therapy education often lacks practical application for athletes. Challenging traditional beliefs in physical therapy is essential for growth. Pain management should focus on function rather than just alleviating pain. Athletes often experience a disconnect between rehabilitation and training. Manual therapy has limitations and should not be the sole focus of treatment. Keeping athletes active during rehabilitation can enhance recovery. The psychological impact of injury on athletes is significant and should be addressed. A shift in the healthcare model is needed to support athletes better. Understanding tendon pain requires a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation. The psychological aspect of injury recovery is crucial. Engaging in enjoyable activities can aid recovery. Cultural shifts in sports medicine are necessary for better outcomes. Patient empowerment plays a significant role in rehabilitation. Pain management requires understanding its complexity. Daily life adjustments can help manage pain effectively. Dynamic rehabilitation approaches may not always be suitable for every injury. Caution is essential in post-surgical rehabilitation. Sometimes, doing less can lead to better recovery outcomes. Effective communication is key in managing patient expectations.   Q on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_q_physio/ Q's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/q_willey?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacZCyD5hJ7vDrU8N015yMTND-oMVC41rgX0wvgcpWU4ZLEM8cAj6otX8qq_ag_aem_90spPkBQ6rLXDVz6JZWUjg Website: https://www.findphysiotherapy.com/ Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-153-tendon-rehab-with-q-willy/
