The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in our body and stretches from the heel bone to the calf muscles. She is usually more resistant and robust than ten meters of reinforced concrete. Before it breaks, it can withstand loads of around one ton — unless it has already been damaged. Care should therefore be taken.
The fact that injuries or pain in the Achilles tendon in soccer should not be taken lightly is also clear Current statements from Bayern coach Hansi Flick.
Serge Gnabry, Bavaria's D-train on the outdoor track, had therefore already had to pass the first session at the training camp in Doha with Achilles tendon problems. According to the Bayern coach, you have to wait until the complaints are over and take the matter very, very seriously.
The job profile of an Achilles tendon primarily includes transferring strength from the calf muscles to the bony structures, which is fundamental in almost all football-specific movement patterns.
This transfer of force is therefore associated with high loads. The result: The Achilles tendon is one of the most heavily stressed areas in soccer. If the load exceeds the load capacity of the structures in the short or medium term, there is an overload of the tendon, a so-called Achilles tendon irritation.
This irritation It is expressed primarily in shooting pain in the area of the tendon course — or as a result of restrictions in ankle mobility. Enjoy playing soccer? Unthinkable anymore!
