Yeah, there are some studies that attribute longer distance running (say, 400m runs) to lactate accumulation and tendon stiffening due to collagen synthesis under conditions of extreme lactate accumulation.

So basically, longer distance sprints have the tendency to help build up stiffer tendons.

Yeah it makes sense. I guess it's safe to use them with dips, chinups, pushups, usually bodyweight movements.

And where do you pause? Meaning - after you do your 10 dips, do you stop at the top and take your breaths while still having the arms loaded etc, or do you get off the dip "machine", walk around 5-6 seconds, and then get back on it and do 3 reps?

Oh...

I thought you were using that thing were if you don't do your alloted reps, you pause 10 seconds and then finish your set with a few more.

So if you planned to squat say 200x8 and you only manage 6 reps, you rack the bar, rest 10 seconds, then pick it back up and do the last 2 reps to totalize those 8 planned ones. A good way to burst through plateaus.

Not sure how that's called.

Yeah it's basically a plant on one leg and then you pivot around that leg (rotate) and plant the other and jump. More rotation at the hips, longer amortization phase, longer time to apply more force into the jump. It will be less quick but you'll have more time to use force.
