Accentuated eccentric training s a great method for well-trained and more advanced individuals to improve strength and power. It involves using loads on the eccentric (lowering or negative movement) phase of an
Many experienced strength trainers try to overcome a plateau by trying to adapt their strength programme, however this is sometimes ineffective. In just five weeks accentuated eccentric loading training considerably improved results for experienced strength-trainers, a study recently published inFrontiers in...
The current investigation was an examination of the repetition-to-repetition magnitudes and changes in kinetic and kinematic characteristics of the back squat using accentuated eccentric loading (AEL) and cluster sets. Trained male subjects (age = 26.1 ± 4.1 years, height = 183.5 ± 4.3 cm, body...
Keywords: resistance training; eccentric overload; programming; potentiation; rate of force development; power; strength 1. Introduction Strength-power adaptations to resistance training are primarily determined by the mode of exercise which is implemented and type of loading encountered [1]. The ...
