Abstract

The present data demonstrate that lifelong side-specific loading yields greater patellar tendon structure on the lead extremity without affecting glycation that is associated with aging. These novel data suggest that lifelong side-specific habitual loading induce structural alterations that may serve to improve the mechanical properties of the tendon.
