Resources
- Eccentric contractions cause muscles to elongate in response to a greater opposing force.
- Isometric contractions generate force without changing the length of the muscle.
- There are 2 main types of tendonitis: Non-insertional Achilles tendonitis and Insertional Achilles tendonitis
- Note: if you’re experiencing insertional Achilles tendonitis use caution or avoid exercises that cause the heel to drop past parallel as those could cause the tendon some extra aggravation during healing.
