Relationships between muscle-tendon ratios, muscle morphology, isokinetic strength, and reactive strength characteristics in human dorsi and plantar flexor muscles
These results suggest that an increase in gross muscle length, a muscle-tendon ratio indicating a longer muscle length, and muscle cross-sectional area are positively related to maximal isokinetic strength in the lower leg. Soleus tendon length and tibialis anterior muscle length may share an anatomical functional relationship. Results from this study support the Muscle-Tendon Ratio hypothesis by demonstrating that gross muscle to tendon length influences maximal isokinetic strength.
