Linear models with maximum cross-validated performance for tendon morphological parameters. The factors included in each inference model are described with their respective coefficients and P values based on a linear regression (in brackets). Note: the factor encoding the presence or absence of the PIEZO1 gain-of-function allele was included in all evaluated models irrespective of its predictive value. AT, Achilles tendon; PT, patellar tendon.
