Running a Marathon-Its Influence on Achilles Tendon Structure.

CONCLUSIONS: We observed the effects of running a marathon on the Achilles tendon structure 7 days after the event. Running the marathon combined with the activity performed shortly thereafter might have caused the changes in tendon structure. This result emphasizes the importance of sufficient recovery time after running a marathon to prevent overuse injuries. PMID: 31935137 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
