- W2807237111 abstract "Longer tendon length has been shown to be related to better running economy because longer tendons can store more energy to produce more force during concentric contraction. Running economy is traditionally defined as having a lower VO2 at the same submaximal speed. However, studies have not tested if this relationship also occurs in male and female elite distance runners at faster speeds. PURPOSE: To determine if Achilles tendon length influences running economy. METHODS: The researchers used ultra sound technology to measure the right Achilles Tendon length of twenty-two varsity collegiate runners (20.09 ± 1.63 yrs), 12 males (178.44 ± 6.74 cm, 65.21 ± 6.62 kg) and 10 females (167.22 ± 7.73 cm, 54.45 ± 4.80 kg). After the researchers measured Achilles Tendon length, participant completed a VO2 max test and running economy was determined by assessing VO2 at submaximal speeds. The men ran at speeds of 10.0, 10.4 and 10.8 mph, and the females ran at speeds of 8.4, 8.8, and 9.2 mph. The relationship between tendon length and running economy was assessed using Pearson correlation coefficients. RESULTS: For collegiate male runners, there was a significant negative relationship between Achilles Tendon length and running economy (r = -0.76 ─ -0.71, p ≤ .01). When tendon length was normalized to height (tendon length/height) the relationship between tendon length and running economy was no longer significant (r = -0.32─ -0.24, p = 0.32-0.45). For collegiate female runners, there was no significant relationship between Achilles Tendon length and running economy alone (r = 0.24-0.39, p = 0.06-0.51) or when normalizing to height (r =0.35─0.44, p =0.23-0.40). CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that longer Achilles Tendons in collegiate male runners are related to improved running economy. In collegiate female runners, tendon length is not significantly associated with running economy. However, there was a negative correlation between Achilles Tendon length and running economy for the males and a positive correlation for the females indicating that longer tendon length might be more beneficial for male runners and shorter tendon might be slightly more economical for females. Other factors besides tendon length attribute to running economy, but this study indicates that for male’s tendon length plays a role in running economy." @default.
