Resumen

Objectives: The main objective of this bibliographical review is to know the most effective application according to the science of eccentric exercise (EE) when it comes to managing Aquilles Tendinopathy (AT). The secondary objectives are to know the differences between the sexes when receiving the treatment of eccentric exercise in the AT and to know the mechanism of action of EE in the AT.Methods: A literature search was made in the PubMed database. The following terms were used: “Tendinopathy”, “Tendinopathy treatment”, “Tendinopathy eccentric” “Tendinopathy eccentric exercise”, “Achilles tendinopathy”, “Achilles tendinopathy treatment”, “Achilles tendinopathy rehabilitation”, “Achilles tendinopathy physical therapy”, “Achilles tendinopathy exersice”, “Achilles tendinopathy eccentric”. We selected articles that provided methodological quality, scientific relevance, or a novel vision.Results: We found articles that support the application of EE as a treatment for AT and the recommended dosage. We found several articles that theorize about the effects of EE on AT. An article was found that differentiates the effects of EE in men and women in AT.Conclusions: EE is the treatment of choice in AT. The Alfedson protocol has the most scientific support. In the future it will be necessary to carry out studies of higher methodological quality on different exercise options. It is not clear what are the mechanisms of EE action in the TA. It is shown that the effects of EE in women are limited compared to men.
