So from a practical standpoint, how does this play out? I understand that there will be individual differences between athletes, but for example should an older athlete reduce or even drop plyometrics and just do sprinting and lifting?
In some ways, reducing the volume of elastic work can be seen as treating the symptom rather than the underlying problem. While I understand that age-related declines are ultimately unavoidable, does anyone know of any exercises, protocols or supplements that can positively impact tendon elasticity. Either reversing or slowing the process?
