58 patients were randomized to undergo either a heave slow resistance (HSR) protocol or an eccentric training (ECC) intervention as treatment for mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy.

The study found that the two regimens were comparable in pain and function scores, tendon thickness, and patient satisfaction. However, results may have been affected by a significantly greater compliance rate displayed in the HSR group.
