Analysis of the correlation between knee extension torque and patellar tendon elastic property

ConclusionNo significant correlations were found between KT and PT E, suggesting that quadriceps strength is not an accurate predictor for PT mechanical properties in subjects with no specific training engagement. Habitual loading pattern can play a determinant role in PT mechanical properties, regardless of quadriceps strength. Further investigation on SSI acquisition protocols should be conducted to guarantee higher inter‐day ICC values.
