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 …

SUMMARY AN ECCENTRIC MUSCLE ACTION IS DESCRIBED AS A MUSCULAR
CONTRACTION OCCURRING WHILE THE MUSCLE IS SIMULTANEOUSLY …

Eccentric muscle contraction, during which a muscle lengthens while under tension, is a
fundamental process of human movement but a surprisingly under-researched area of …

Background Resistance training is an integral component of physical preparation for
athletes. A growing body of evidence indicates that eccentric strength training methods …

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 …

This nonexhaustive mini-review reports on the application of eccentric exercise in various
rehabilitation populations. The two defining properties of eccentric muscle contractions—a …

The development of active isokinetic dynamometers has allowed the assessment of
muscular moment under eccentric activations that have different characteristics to concentric …

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 …

Muscles operate eccentrically to either dissipate energy for decelerating the body or to store
elastic recoil energy in preparation for a shortening (concentric) contraction. The muscle …

Eccentric muscle actions regularly occur as a braking or opposition force to a concentric
(shortening) actions in many movements, in order to protect joint structures from damage …
