Uphill treadmill running does not induce histopathological changes in the rat Achilles tendon
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate whether uphill treadmill running in rats created histopathological changes within the Achilles tendon consistent with Achilles tendinosis in humans. METHODS Twenty-six mature rats selectively bred for high-capacity running were divided into run and cage control groups. Run group rats ran on a treadmill at a 15° incline for a maximum dura...
متن کاملDoes achilles tendon cross sectional area differ after downhill, level and uphill running in trained runners?
In this study we examined how hill running affects the Achilles tendon, a common location for injuries in runners. Twenty females ran for 10 min on each of three randomly ordered grades (-6%, 0 and +6%) at speeds selected to match the metabolic rates. Achilles tendon (AT) cross-sectional area (CSA) was imaged using Doppler ultrasound and peak vertical forces were analyzed using an instrumented ...
متن کاملUphill running improves rat Achilles tendon tissue mechanical properties and alters gene expression without inducing pathological changes.
Overuse Achilles tendinopathy is a common and challenging problem in sports medicine. Little is known about the etiology of this disorder, and the development of a good animal model for overuse tendinopathy is essential for advancing insight into the disease mechanisms. Our aim was to test a previously proposed rat model for Achilles tendon overuse. Ten adult male Sprague-Dawley rats ran on a t...
متن کاملEarly voluntary exercise does not promote healing in a rat model of Achilles tendon injury.
Mechanical stress is an important modulator of connective tissue repair. However, the effects on tendon healing are very poorly defined, preventing optimal use of mechanical stress. We hypothesized that early voluntary exercise initially retards tendon repair but results in a faster recovery rate at longer term. Male Wistar rats were injured by a collagenase injection in the Achilles tendon, an...
متن کاملPatellofemoral Joint and Achilles Tendon Loads During Overground and Treadmill Running.
Study Design Level 4, controlled laboratory study. Background Little is known regarding how the potential differences between treadmill and overground running may affect patellofemoral joint and Achilles tendon loading characteristics. Objectives To compare measures of loading of the patellofemoral joint and Achilles tendon across treadmill and overground running in healthy, uninjured runners. ...
