Sagittal tendon thickness was determined 20\u2005mm from the enthesis and transverse strain, as defined by the stretch ratio, was repeatedly monitored over a 24\u2005h recovery period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Resistance exercise resulted in an immediate decrease in Achilles (t\n                      <jats:sub>7<\/jats:sub>\n                      =10.6, p&lt;0.01) and patellar (t\n                      <jats:sub>8<\/jats:sub>\n                      =8.9, p&lt;0.01) tendon thickness, resulting in an average transverse stretch ratio of 0.86\u00b10.04 and 0.82\u00b10.05, which was not significantly different between tendons. The magnitude of the immediate transverse strain response, however, was reduced with advancing age (r=0.63, p&lt;0.01). Recovery in transverse strain was prolonged compared with the duration of loading and exponential in nature. The average primary recovery time was not significantly different between the Achilles (6.5\u00b13.2\u2005h) and patellar (7.1\u00b13.2\u2005h) tendons. Body weight accounted for 62% and 64% of the variation in recovery time, respectively.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite structural and biochemical differences between the Achilles and patellar tendon, the mechanisms underlying transverse creep recovery in vivo appear similar and are highly time dependent.
