Aging is associated with a decline in physical capabilities and several other health-related
conditions. One of the most common age-related processes is sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is …

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of eccentric training using a constant load with
longer exposure time at the eccentric phase on knee extensor muscle strength and …

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 …

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 …

Purpose The present study tested the hypothesis that resistance exercise training focusing
on eccentric muscle contractions would improve muscle strength and functional physical …

Purpose: The capacity of eccentric actions to produce muscle hypertrophy, strength gains,
and neural adaptations without stressing the cardiopulmonary system has led to the …

Background. The aim of the present study was to compare the changes in voluntary strength
(isometric, concentric, and eccentric) and functional mobility in response to maximal …

Abstract Leszczak, TJ, Olson, JM, Stafford, J, and Di Brezzo, R. Early adaptations to
eccentric and high-velocity training on strength and functional performance in community …

As aging continues to grow in our society, sarcopenia and associated fall risk is considered
a public health problem since falling is the third cause of chronic disability. Falls are …

Exercise interventions have shown significant improvements in the older adult population
regarding functional and cognitive capacity. However, much research has applied exercise …
