Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen@ismcopenhagen.bsky.social · 6mo agoFirst department meeting of the year! Ask Møbjerg present the first study from his PhD on the early adaptations to mechanical loading in extracellular matrix-producing fibroblasts and myonuclei 💪 #TeamTendon @ccstorytime.bsky.social
Want to prevent tendon injuries? Eccentric exercises, like Nordic hamstring curls, don't just build muscle. They strengthen tendons too. A new study by @ccstorytime.bsky.social, funded in part by @wutsaialliance.bsky.social, suggests how. humanperformancealliance.org/news/study-s...
