An eccentric contraction involves the active lengthening of muscle under an external load.
The molecular and neural mechanisms underpinning eccentric contractions differ from those …

The purpose of this review was to provide a physiological rationale for the use of eccentric
resistance training and to provide an overview of the most commonly prescribed eccentric …

This study tested the hypothesis that rate of force development (RFD) would be a more
sensitive indirect marker of muscle damage than maximum voluntary isometric contraction …

Cycle ergometry is commonly used to quantify muscular work and power, and to elicit
perturbations to metabolic homeostasis for a broad range of physiological investigations …

This study compared muscle-tendon behavior, muscle oxygenation, and muscle activity
between eccentric and concentric cycling exercise at the same work output to investigate …

Previous authors have reported power-pedaling rate relationships for maximal cycling.
However, the joint-specific power-pedaling rate relationships that contribute to pedal power …

Previous investigators have reported velocity-dependent strength loss for single-joint actions
following acute eccentric exercise. The extent to which velocity influences recovery of multi …

Corticospinal excitability, and particularly the balance between cortical inhibitory and
excitatory processes (assessed in a muscle using single and paired-pulse transcranial …

One-legged cycling has served as a valuable research tool and as a training and
rehabilitation modality. Biomechanics of onelegged cycling are unnatural because the …

Purpose Our purposes for conducting this study were to 1) describe the design and
construction of an EC (arm) ergometer and 2) compare EC (arm) to traditional concentric …
