Plyometrics or Heavy Resistance for building strong tendons?

📈 Plyometrics are more specific to training tendon elasticity.

The ability of our tendons to stretch and return to their starting length.

📊 Heavy resistance is more specific to increasing tendon stiffness

This helps you transmit force into the ground.

🏋🏽‍♂️ Tendons need to be able to reform when stretched as well as remain stiff and transmit force into the ground.

Therefore it’s important to train a combination of BOTH plyometrics and heavy resistance exercise.
