Fig. 5. The relationship between peak strain (strain at Po) and muscle-tendon unit (MTU) length for each of the five segments defined in this study: DA, dorsal aponeurosis; MA, middle aponeurosis; PA, proximal aponeurosis; PT/DA, proximal tendon/distal aponeurosis; TEND, tendon. Strains in the tendon were significantly (P<0.05) less than those in all regions of the aponeurosis and did not vary significantly with increasing MTU length. By contrast, peak strains in the aponeurosis tended to increase with lengthening of the MTU. Values are means ± 1 S.D. (N=4).
