The aim of the current review is to discuss applications and mechanism of eccentric exercise
in training regimes of competitive sports. Eccentric muscle work is important in most sports …

Eccentric (ECC) exercise is classically used to improve muscle strength and power in
healthy subjects and athletes. Due to its specific physiological and mechanical properties …

This study examined the influence of an initial bout of eccentric or concentric actions and a
subsequent bout of eccentric actions on muscular strength. Twenty-four healthy males, 24 …

It is generally accepted that eccentric exercise, when performed by a muscle that is
unaccustomed to that type of contraction, results in a delayed onset of muscle soreness …

BACKGROUND: Muscle damage and repeated bout effect have been studied after pure
eccentric-only exercise. The aim of this study was to evaluate muscle damage and repeated …

Although, beneficial in determined contexts, eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage
(EIMD) might be unwanted during training regimens, competitions and daily activities. There …

A well-documented observation after eccentric exercise is a reduction in maximal voluntary
force. However, little is known about the ability to maintain maximal isometric force or …

The effects of eccentric exercise on muscle injury prevention and athletic performance are
emerging areas of interest to researchers. Of particular interest are the adaptations that …
