Common force patellar tendon (PT) stiffness and Young’s modulus before (0 months) and after 12 months heavy resistance training (HRT), moderate load resistance training (MRT) or no training (CON). Bars represent mean ± SE. Significant time x group interaction denoted by **(p < 0.01) or *(p = 0.05) based on repeated measures 2-way ANOVA. A: Significantly different from 0 months (p < 0.05). B: Significantly different from CON12 (p < 0.05), C: Significantly different from MRT12 (p < 0.05) based on Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test
