Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation between acute:chronic work ratio in covered distance with patient-reported symptoms during the rehabilitation of their chronic Achilles tendinopathy | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To correlate the quantified training behaviour expressed in frequency of training with the patient-reported symptoms - To correlate the quantified training behaviour expressed in speed of training with the patient-reported symptoms - To define whether there was a difference in training behaviour (expressed as covered distance, frequency of training and speed of training) at 6 months before the onset of tendinopathy symptoms compared to 1 month before the onset of tendinopathy symptoms - Check whether there is a difference in biomechanics | — |
