Limb stiffness or musculotendinous stiffness (MTS) has previously been examined in relation to performance and characterized using a number of different methods. However, the fact that MTS shows only low to moderate correlations to performances may i... Read More about Lower limb mechanical properties : determining factors and implications for performance.

Determination of optimal load during the power clean, in collegiate athletes (2012)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., Fletcher, C., & McMahon, J. (2012). Determination of optimal load during the power clean, in collegiate athletes. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 26(11), 2962-2969. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0b013e318245bed4

Although previous research has been performed in similar areas of study, the optimal load for the development of peak power during training remains controversial, and this has yet to be established in collegiate level athletes. The purpose of this st... Read More about Determination of optimal load during the power clean, in collegiate athletes.

Lower limb stiffness: Effect on performance and training considerations (2012)
Journal Article
McMahon, J., Comfort, P., & Pearson, S. (2012). Lower limb stiffness: Effect on performance and training considerations. Strength and Conditioning Journal, 34(6), 94-101. https://doi.org/10.1519/SSC.0b013e3182781b4e

Summary: the aim of this review was to summarize the research to date on lower limb stiffness in relation to both its effect on performance and training considerations. Evidence suggests that some amount of lower limb stiffness is required for succes... Read More about Lower limb stiffness: Effect on performance and training considerations.
