Tendons are ‘hot’…..1 1 Wilson and Goodship. 1994 The temperature in Superfiscial digital flexor tendons of horses can rise up to 45 degrees. Kinetic energy is stored transiently as strain energy in the tendon. Elastic recoil then converts most of the stored energy back to kinetic energy as the foot leaves the ground. This important mechanism saves substantial quantities of muscular energy during locomotion (Alexander, 1988). The stored strain energy, however, is not all recoverable, owing to internal viscous damping, and some 5–10 % is released as heat (Ker 1 Wilson and Goodship. 1994
