Offering large muscle benefits despite low metabolic demand, continuous eccentric exercise
appears to be an interesting alternative to concentric exercise. Nevertheless, further …

Objectives This study determined if eccentric endurance cycling, eliciting a low
cardiovascular demand, could stimulate muscle strength adaptations in sedentary middle …

ABSTRACT DUFOUR, SP, E. LAMPERT, S. DOUTRELEAU, E. LONSDORFER-WOLF, VL
BILLAT, F. PIQUARD, and R. RICHARD. Eccentric Cycle Exercise: Training Application of …

Both eccentric (ECC) and concentric (CON) exercises improve energy expenditure and
blood lipid profile. Although ECC exercise has a more beneficial effect on these factors than …

Metabolic demand and muscle mechanical tension are closely coupled during exercise,
making their respective drives to the circulatory response difficult to establish. This coupling …

This study compared muscle-tendon behavior, muscle oxygenation, and muscle activity
between eccentric and concentric cycling exercise at the same work output to investigate …

Eccentric exercise has gained increasing attention as a suitable and promising intervention
to delay or mitigate the known physical and physiological declines associated with aging …

As compared with concentric muscle contraction, eccentric muscle contraction presents the
advantage of producing a higher level of force for lower cardiovascular, respiratory and …

Purpose: To compare the effects of a single bout of eccentric cycling (ECC) and eccentric
cycling with blood flow restriction (ECCBFR) on the changes in cardio-metabolic demand …

INTRODUCTION: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by dyspnea and poor
exercise tolerance, which decreases aerobic capacity (V˙ O2peak), a measure strongly …
