In Michaud's paper he cites the following, “research by Kubo and others confirm that prolonged isometric contractions, especially when performed with the tendon in a lengthened position, can improve tendon compliance by as much as 50%.” Simply put, isometrics at length help produces tendon stiffness, reduce pain and improve fluid dynamics. **Episode Resources **Michaud, T.
