Extreme or unaccustomed eccentric exercise can cause exercise-induced muscle damage,
characterized by structural changes involving sarcomere, cytoskeletal, and membrane …

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 …

This study compared nine resistance eccentric exercises targeting arm, leg, and trunk
muscles in one session for changes in maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength …

A single bout of exercise can result in inflammatory responses, increased oxidative stress
and upregulation of enzymatic antioxidant mechanisms. Although low-volume high-intensity …

The benefits of eccentric (ECC) training on fat mass (FM) remain underexplored. We
hypothesized that in obese adolescents, ECC cycling training is more efficient for …

Limited research exists in the literature regarding the biomechanics of the jump-landing
sequence in individuals that experience symptoms of muscle damage. The present study …

Purpose: This study examined the effects of a 6-week Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE)
program in youth male soccer players of less mature (pre–peak height velocity [PHV]) or …

Background: Eccentric resistance training (ERT) in youth is advocated for aiding
performance and injury risk. However, research investigating the applied practices of ERT in …

Purpose: This meta-analysis aimed to (1) provide a comparison of peak changes in indirect
markers of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) in youths versus adults and (2) …

This study compared salivary and serum concentrations of testosterone and cortisol at rest
and in response to intense multitask exercise in boys and men. Early morning saliva and …
