The Academic College Levinsky-WIngate, Wingate Campus, Netanya, Israel. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how the structure of the Achilles tendon (AT) relates to functional abilities and chronic ankle instability (CAI) in military recruits.
- It involved 360 male infantry soldiers assessed using ultrasound to evaluate their tendon structure and various physical tests to gauge their functional abilities and instability.
- Results showed that soldiers with disorganized tendon structure had significantly lower scores in heel-raise and agility tests and a higher incidence of CAI, suggesting the importance of pre-recruitment screening for tendon quality to prevent injuries and improve performance.
