Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment (VISA)—Achilles (A) score at baseline (PRE), after the 12-week intervention period (POST) (Passive therapy n = 14; Alfredson n = 15; High-load n = 15) and 6 months after POST (FOLLOW-UP) (Passive therapy n = 14; Alfredson n = 13; High-load n = 13) for the three intervention groups measured in points (pts.) from 0 to 100. The horizontal line in the middle of the box is the median value of the scores, and the lower and upper boundaries indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively (median included). The largest and smallest observed values that are not outliers are shown by the lines drawn from the ends of the box to those values (whiskers). * indicates significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to PRE as a significant main effect of time
