Abstract
Whilst estrogen fluctuations have been implicated in the soft tissue injury gender-bias due to the hormones effect on the viscoelastic properties of the musculotendinous unit (Eiling et al., 2007), the isolated effect of estrogen on the mechanical behaviour of human tendon in vivo is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of circulating levels of estrogen on the strain properties of the human Achilles tendon in vivo.
