@SpeedEndurance, just wanted to give you and the rest a massive shout out...This is by far the most comprehensive and insightful free online source I've come across regarding information on the stretch shortening cycle and how the MTAU functions during elastic movement. It's helped clear up a number of confusions. Pls continue putting out this type of content.
Would you happen to know of or recommend any other sources for gaining further insight into the concept of biokinetics?

qigong is all about changing the fascia and tendons. There are techniques for strengthening the fascia and tendons in the martial arts for the upper body and torso and somewhat for the achilles and knees. The achilles and knees exercises basically involve walking/waddling in a squat position. I’ve seen really well trained practitioners generate power using the elasticity in these fibers and it makes a “whomp” type of sound
