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

A single bout of resistance training induces residual fatigue, which may impair performance
during subsequent endurance training if inadequate recovery is allowed. From a concurrent …

Purpose The present study compared the effects of eccentric cycling (ECC) and
conventional concentric cycling (CONC) training on muscle function, body composition …

Abstract Devantier-Thomas, B, Deakin, GB, Crowther, F, Schumann, M, and Doma, K. The
impact of exercise-induced muscle damage on various cycling performance metrics: a …

Background An acute bout of eccentric contractions (ECC) cause muscle fiber damage,
inflammation, impaired muscle function (MF) and muscle soreness (MS). Individually, protein …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate, in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients, feasibility, safety,
compliance and functional improvements of an eccentric (ECC) cycle training protocol …

It is well established that exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) has a detrimental effect
on endurance exercise performed in the days that follow. However, it is unknown whether …

Simple Summary Exercise is the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs.
Although all exercise has concentric (CONC, where the muscle groups shorten to produce …

Fatigue induced via a maximal isometric contraction of a single limb muscle group can
evoke a “cross-over” of fatigue that reduces voluntary muscle activation and maximum …

Exercise with reduced muscle mass facilitates greater muscle-specific adaptations than
training with larger muscle mass. The smaller active muscle mass can demand a greater …
