One section of the book referred to ligaments and tendons being like "rubber bands" in that they would store and release energy when stretched. Ligaments hold our joints together. If they were to stretch like rubber bands, they would not provide stability for our joints. Tendons connect muscles to bones. If tendons were like rubber bands, the contractile force developed by our muscles would not be transmitted to the bones to cause movement. I have played with some of the running technique and have found them very helpful. Brian Lambert, PTGet more detail about ChiRunning: A Training Program for Effortless, Injury-Free Running.
