Eccentric training has the ability to improve strength and power as well as being a stimulus
for hypertrophy gains. However a possible negative side effect is exercise induced muscle …

Effect Conferred by Four Bouts of Low-Intensity Eccentric Exercise. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc …

This study investigated the hypothesis that the protective effect conferred by a low-intensity
eccentric exercise against maximal eccentric exercise would not last more than a week …

Background: Exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) from strenuous unaccustomed
eccentric exercise is well documented. So too is the observation that a prior bout of eccentric …

The first purpose of this study was to determine a possible explanation for the variability in
the response to eccentric exercise by having participants repeat the same exercise 1 year …

eccentric exercise. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 33, No. 7, 2001, pp. 1213–1219. Purpose …

We hypothesized that a bout of high or low volume eccentric exercise would protect against
muscle damage following a subsequent high volume bout and that adaptation would be …

An eccentric muscle action involves the lengthening of a muscle due to an external load and
occurs as a result of the mechanical disruption of action and myosin. The mechanical nature …

Many acute muscle strain injuries are thought to occur during the eccentric phase of sudden,
forceful muscle actions. Repeated eccentric muscle actions during exercise are also thought …

BACKGROUND: Unaccustomed eccentric exercise induces muscle damage. A single
session of eccentric exercise can induce an" adaptive effect" protecting exercised muscles …
