Tendon and ligament mechanical loading in the pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritis
Eric Gracey, Arne Burssens, Isabelle Cambré, Georg Schett, Rik Lories, Iain B. McInnes, Hiroshi Asahara, Dirk ElewautThis review article discusses how mechanical loading affects tendons and ligaments. While normal levels of loading are essential for maintaining tissue health, pathological levels of force act as a stressor that can tri…

Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations After the Ingestion of Dairy and Collagen Proteins, in Healthy Active Males
Rebekah D Alcock, Gregory C Shaw, Nicolin Tee, Louise M BurkeThis study investigated how blood amino acid levels changed in healthy, active men after they consumed either collagen or dairy proteins. Researchers found that the different protein sources led to distinct amino acid p…

Stress Relaxation and Targeted Nutrition to Treat Patellar Tendinopathy
Keith BaarThis case study outlines the rehabilitation of a professional basketball player with patellar tendinopathy. The athlete undertook a program combining gelatin ingestion with heavy isometric loading of the patellar tendon…

Release of fascial compartment boundaries reduces muscle force output
Roy J Ruttiman, David A Sleboda,, Thomas J RobertsIn this animal study, researchers investigated how the fascial sheets that enclose muscles affect their function. They surgically removed the fascia from a wing muscle in wild turkeys to see how it changed the muscle's…

Vitamin C–enriched gelatin supplementation before intermittent activity augments collagen synthesis
Gregory Shaw, Ann Lee-Barthel, Megan L R Ross, Bing Wang, Keith BaarIn a small study involving eight healthy men, researchers investigated the effect of vitamin C-enriched gelatin supplementation before exercise. Participants who consumed 15 grams of gelatin one hour before a short, int…

From mechanical loading to collagen synthesis, structural changes and function in human tendon
Michael Kjær, H Langberg, K Heinemeier, M L Bayer, Mette Hansen, L Holm, S Doessing, M Kongsgaard, M R Krogsgaard, S P…This review article outlines how tendons adapt to mechanical loading from exercise. The research indicates that loading increases the synthesis and turnover of collagen, the protein that gives tendons their strength. Th…

Coordinated collagen and muscle protein synthesis in human patella tendon and quadriceps muscle after exercise
Benjamin F Miller, Jens L Olesen, Mette Hansen, Simon Dossing, Regina M Crameri, Rasmus J Welling, Henning Langberg, Al…Researchers investigated how strenuous exercise affects protein synthesis in both muscle and tendon. In this study, healthy young men performed one-legged kicking exercises, and biopsies were taken over the next 72 hour…
