Episode notes
Muscle Strains Happen When Lengthening
- Muscle strains commonly occur during eccentric contractions when muscles lengthen under tension.
- Understanding contraction types helps explain why hamstring strains happen during sprinting's leg extension phase.
Tendon Injury Spectrum
- Tendon injuries range from overuse tendinopathy to sudden ruptures.
- Tendinopathy causes localized pain near tendon attachments and may ease with warming up.
Ligament Sprains Cause Instability
- Ligament injuries are called sprains and cause joint instability.
- Severity ranges from painful but stable to completely unstable requiring possible surgery.
