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.
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 ...
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...
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),...
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 exercises done with supramaximal loads primarily induces neural adaptation while submaximal loading elicits hypertrophic effects. The use of one over the other depends on the individual athlete’s needs (Wirth et al., 2015). Eccentric loading causes adaptation in both concentric-only and ec...

[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 ...
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...
