Fig. 4. Mean curves (N=11) of the ankle angles and tendon–aponeurosis displacement during the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) at the high-strain-magnitude exercised leg before (pre-exercise) and after (post-exercise) the intervention. The elongation of the tendon and aponeurosis (corrected) was calculated as the difference of measured displacement (measured) and the passive displacement due to ankle joint rotation (passive) of the analysed cross-point at the aponeurosis of the gastrocnemius medialis. t_max: time to achieve maximum tendon force.
