Why does plyometrics work?
Plyometrics has 4 benefits to the trainee that aid in sports specific performance:1. The myostatic stretch reflex is "reinforced" by plyometric drills. When a muscle/tendon structure is stretched the body contracts the muscle in response. Before a movement such as a vertical jump, a counter movement is first performed which induces a stretch reflex and allows the muscles to move with greater power.2. Tendon stiffness/ elasticity is improved. Greater tendon stiffness is accomplished as the protein structure of the tendons is strengthened. This allows power from the muscles to more effectively be transferred from the ground, through the athlete.3. Strength is improved as the muscles overcome body weight and gravity at high speeds. Note that while strength is improved, it is better to supplement plyometrics with a strength training program where strength levels can be maximized.4. Movement efficiency is improved. Performing the skill in a plyometric fashion should mimic the skill you perform in your particular sport. Repeition at very high speeds increase the neural efficiency of the movement and "greases" the groove, allow you to use more of the strength that you already have.

Is surgery needed for an Achilles tendon spur?
25% of Achilles tendon spurs require surgery, and 20% of surgeries for this case require reoperation. A person with an Achilles tendon spur should see his doctor to find out if surgery will be necessary, and should limit movement with that leg until he has done so.
Where is the Achilles tendo located?
Achilles Tendon is located at the back of the ankle. The tough rope like tendon that joins the heel and the calf muscle is achilles tendon.
What happens during ankle reflex?
An ankle reflex is when the Achilles tendon is tapped while the foot is stretched out. A positive outcome is when the foot jerks outward. The test is done to determine if S1 and S2[3] nerve roots are in place.
What is the the longest tendon in the body?
