Main focus
12-week heavy eccentric calf program for chronic mid-portion Achilles pain.
Key lesson
Grinding, painful eccentrics can drive big improvements in stubborn Achilles tendinopathy.
My take
If you treat runners or back‑row forwards without knowing this paper, your tendinopathy game is half-baked, sorry not sorry… fight me.
