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 …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

The aim of the current review is to discuss applications and mechanism of eccentric exercise
in training regimes of competitive sports. Eccentric muscle work is important in most sports …

There is growing evidence that eccentric strength training appears to have benefits over
traditional strength training (ie, strength training with combined concentric and eccentric …

Eccentric (ECC) exercise is classically used to improve muscle strength and power in
healthy subjects and athletes. Due to its specific physiological and mechanical properties …

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 …

ABSTRACT PEN AILILLO, L., A. BLAZEVICH, H. NUMAZAWA, and K. NOSAKA. Metabolic
and Muscle Damage Profiles of Concentric versus Repeated Eccentric Cycling. Med. Sci …

Skeletal muscle generates force by either shortening (concentrically) or lengthening
(eccentrically). Eccentric (ECC) exercise is characterized by a lower metabolic demand and …

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