Discussion These findings demonstrate that a clinically-derived eccentric loading protocol results in a shift in AtPT towards a longer length (i.e. further towards dorsiflexion), whilst not altering peak torque. This is in contrast to a concentric loading protocol that did not induce such changes...
Because fewer motor units, and therefore fewer muscle fibers, are recruited during submaximal eccentric loading compared to concentric actions,each motor unit must generate more force.Hence, the increase in muscle damage as the fewer motor units need to make up for the other inactive motor units[4...
Maybe hamstring injuries have nothing to do with eccentric loading and the mechanics of the muscles in sprint running. Maybe hamstring injuries occur because of a “loss” of motor control, a “lack” of focus when sprinting. I have watched track and field sprinting for 50 years now. And ...
A total of 18 circular concrete columns (9 SHFC columns and 9 GHFC columns) having a height of 1150 mm and a diameter of 250 mm were constructed and tested under axial loading at various eccentricities. The test measurements portrayed that the SHFC columns presented a better performance in ...
Eccentric Loading, Shock-Wave Treatment, or a Wait-and-See Policy for Tendinopathy of the Main Body of Tendo Achillis: A Randomized Controlled Trial...
High﹍oad eccentric training reputedly produces greater muscle hypertrophy than concentric training, possibly due to greater loading and/or inflammation. We quantified the temporal impact of combined maximal concentric〆ccentric training vs maximal concentric training on muscle cross﹕ectional area (CSA),...
[22] reported that after unilateral resistance training of the wrist flexors with maximal loading three times a week for 4 weeks, the magnitude of the cross-education effect on MVC strength was 44 % after concentric training but 76 % after eccentric training. As mentioned above, the ...
Therefore, this study aims two-fold: (1) to compare the effects of 12 weeks of eccentric (ECC), concentric (CONC), and combined eccentric/concentric (ECC/CONC) cycling training on muscle mass and function, cardiometabolic health, physical activity levels and quality of life in severe COPD ...
Tests were performed under concentric and eccentric loading. • SPMC columns portrayed higheraxial strengththan GPMC columns. • Mostly the samples failed in the upper half region. Abstract Literature is deficient in exploring the structural efficiency ofpolypropylenemacro synthetic structuralfiber reinfor...
It is useful to apply eccentric and concentric exercises in a functional context during rehabilitation. The functions of eccentric exercise being the deceleration of limb part, for example hamstrings braking knee extension when kicking a football, the absorption of force, for example when landing from...
