Recovering from Achilles Tendonitis

An important point of the silbernagel articles is that both work, but heavy slow resistance only needs to be done three times a week. Hence improved adherence.

I liken to it to low versus high volume compared to eccentrics.

She also published a great randomized controlled trial where both groups had the same regimen of exercises but one continued training (whatever sport) and only stopped if pain went above a 5/10. That group had the same outcomes as the other and didn’t lose as much fitness compared to the control (therapy exercise alone). Food for thought.
