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

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is quite a common consequence of unaccustomed
strenuous exercise, especially exercise containing eccentric contraction (lengthening …

Objective To assess the issue of muscle echo intensity reliability and to investigate the
relationship between muscle echo intensity and size, shape and location of the region of …

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 …

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 …

Echo intensity is the mean pixel intensity of a specific region of interest from an ultrasound
image. This variable has been increasingly used in the literature as a physiological marker …

It has been reported that eccentric training of knee extensors is effective for improving blood
insulin sensitivity and lipid profiles to a greater extent than concentric training in young …

Purpose Eccentric exercise training produces positive fitness and health outcomes, but
whether this is also the case for descending stair walking (DSW) is unknown. This study …

Purpose This study compared the magnitude of the repeated bout effect (RBE) for different
time intervals between two bouts of eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors to better …

Purpose We compared high-and low-intensity eccentric cycling (ECC) with the same
mechanical work for changes in muscle function and muscle soreness, and examined the …
