The Alfredson protocol is a specific eccentric exercise regimen designed to treat chronic Achilles tendinopathy by progressively loading the tendon through controlled heel drops.

A key association is its effectiveness in reducing symptoms and enhancing tendon structure, although improper technique may risk tendon overload or rupture.
