Abstract


The effect of aerobic training has presented conflicting results regarding the bio- mechanical responses submitted by the tendon after a period of moderate aerobic training such as running. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a protocol running on a treadmill at moderate intensity on the mechanical properties of the Achilles tendons of rats. For mechanical test the tendons were pulled to the point of failure of the specimen. The moderate-intensity aerobic training in rats does not changes in the biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon, thus, does not seem to pose a risk can be effective for not taking the Achilles tendon to mechanical stress and fatigue.
