| Abstract |
Decreased whole-body energy cost of running has been associated with an increased Achilles tendon stiffness. It is usually assumed that this lower energy cost can be attributed to less muscle fascicle shortening with a stiffer tendon. Increased fiber shortening is an important determinant of muscle energetics in vitro. However, other factors, like increased muscle activation may be important when considering whole muscle energetics in vivo. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 March 2019.
All research outputs
#14,600,874
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#2,740
of 4,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#108,616
of 207,615 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#19
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,345 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.6. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 207,615 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
