Peak patellar tendon force progressions during heavy load single-leg squats on level ground and decline board KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Progressive tendon loading programs for patellar tendinopathy typically include single-leg squats with heavy weights either on level ground or on a decline board. Changes in patellar tendon force due to variations of the heavy load single-leg squat have not yet been objectively quantified. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the mass of an external weight and the use of a decline board on the peak patellar ...
