Repeated, episodic bouts of skeletal muscle contraction undertaken frequently as structured
exercise training are a potent stimulus for physiological adaptation in many organs …

Skeletal muscle contracts either by shortening or lengthening (concentrically or
eccentrically, respectively); however, the two contractions substantially differ from one …

The applications of Western/immunoblotting (WB) techniques have reached multiple layers
of the scientific community and are now considered routine procedures in the field of …

Background Resistance training is an integral component of physical preparation for
athletes. A growing body of evidence indicates that eccentric strength training methods …

Muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound has been used to estimate cross‐sectional
area (measured by CT and MRI) at a single time point. We tested whether MT could be used …

High-intensity horizontal decelerations occur frequently in team sports and are typically
performed to facilitate a reduction in momentum preceding a change of direction manoeuvre …

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

Background Plyometric training (PT) has been widely studied in sport science. However,
there is no review that determines the impact of PT on the structural variables and …

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 …

Objectives The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the effect of flywheel (FW)
resistance training with Eccentric Overload (FW-EOT) on muscle size and functional …
