Literature suggests that muscle-tendon unit (MTU) stiffness is implicated in human motion performance and injuries. In addition, muscle and joint pains comprise a set of very common climacteric symptoms. Concomitant with such symptoms, physical fragility and mobility limitations are expected, which further affect the functional physical fitness of postmenopausal women. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study relating MTU stiffness with hormone therapy (HT) and the nature of menopause. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of HT and the nature of menopause on triceps-surae MTU stiffness in postmenopausal women.
