The human body is a complex system, and anyone telling you they can predict injuries is blowing smoke out of their ass.
Here are 3 ways to build robust tendons for life & combat sport.
1. Load the tendon with little, to no movement utilising isometrics. If you’re dealing with pain and inhibition, incorporating slow jerk Isometrics are a safe starting point to help with blood flow and the remodelling process in early stages of rehab.
2. Build strength through length. Resistance training is extremely effective for producing significant structural changes in the tendons, including increased strength, thickness, and improved structural integrity.
3. Load the tendons fast. As we age, we tend to lose that playful side. Plyometrics have clearly shown to be the fountain of youth by increasing neuromuscular efficiency, tendon elasticity, and minimising the risk of injuries as we age.
