Achillessehnentendinopathie: Welchen Nutzen hat ein isometrisches Training?

Isometrisches Training wird seit ein paar Jahren zur Schmerzlinderung bei einer Achillessehnentendinopathie empfohlen. Doch nicht nur Schmerz, auch die reduzierte physische Leistungsfähigkeit sollte in der Therapie adressiert werden, da diese möglicherweise zu Rückfällen führen kann. Kann Isometrie auch die Leistungsfähigkeit beeinflussen?
