Eccentric contractions, characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex,
present several unique features compared with other types of contractions, which may lead …

Aging is a multi-factorial process that ultimately induces a decline in our physiological
functioning, causing a decreased health-span, quality of life and independence for older …

Background A sarcopenia diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of low muscle quantity or
quality under the 2018 revised definition by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in …

Eccentric resistance training that focuses on the lengthening phase of muscle actions has
gained attention for its potential to enhance muscle strength, power, and performance …

The loss of muscle strength and increased injury rate in aging skeletal muscle has
previously been attributed to loss of muscle protein (cross-sectional area) and/or decreased …

The goals of this narrative review are to provide a brief overview of the muscle and tendon
adaptations to eccentric resistance exercise and address the applications of this form of …

The muscular dystrophies comprise a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders that
produce progressive skeletal muscle weakness and wasting. There has been rapid growth …

Background Conventional progressive concentric strengthening exercise (CSE) to improve
bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) may not be feasible for …

Abstract Background Stand-to-sit (StandTS) movement is an important functional activity that
can be challenging for older adults due to age-related changes in neuromotor control …

Skeletal muscle repair is essential for effective remodeling, tissue maintenance, and
initiation of beneficial adaptations post-eccentric exercise. A series of well characterized …
