Background. Earlier studies have reported positive results from eccentric training in patients with tendon disorders. The reasons for the benefi cial clinical effects of eccentric training are not known. Vascularization followed by regression of the vasculature enhances the healing response of injured tendons. Eccentric exercise induces a more benefi cial healing response than concentric exerci...

Findings were compared with 16 normal border collies participating in the same exercise protocols (11 retri...
