The exercise intervention reflected that described by Alfredson [1998], with the ECC and CON groups performing eccentric or concentric contractions only respectively; load was progressively increased over a 10-week intervention period. Repeated measures of AtPT and PT were obtained and statistically ...
Eccentric contraction occurs when a muscle lengthens under load or tension, such as when lowering a weight during a bicep curl. This type of contraction is often linked to muscle control and deceleration, helping absorb energy and reduce force on joints and tendons. Conversely, concentric contractio...
Eccentric vs Concentric Eccentric and Concentric are two words that are often confused in terms of their meanings and connotations. The two words are related to the contractions of the muscle. They are both types of isotonic contraction. When the muscle shortens to move a load then the muscle ...
The idea is that the heavier load will speed up the eccentric as you won’t be able to resist as easily and the lighter concentric load will allow you to use that stored elastic energy to maximally accelerate the concentric phase. Partner or Band Assisted KB Swing This is truly a fast ec...
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),...
Changes in elbow flexion torque and biceps brachii electromyogram (EMG) activity over 30 repetitive maximal voluntary concentric-only (CON-only), eccentric-only (ECC-only), and alternative concentric and eccentric (CON-ECC, 30 concentric + 30 eccentric) contractions were examined to compare thei...
Concentric contraction is a type of isotonic contraction which causes muscles to shorten while generating a force. Concentric contraction occurs throughout the muscle in the direction of contraction of a muscle. These contractions are required when lifting a load. For instance, when lifting a heavy ...
One of the critical training variables that could affect the magnitude of the cross-education effect is muscle contraction types such as isometric, concentric, and eccentric contractions [5, 24]. It has been reported that eccentric resistance exercise training (ET) confers a greater cross-education...
Limited levels of evidence exist to suggest that EE has a positive effect on clinical outcomes such as pain, function and patient satisfaction/return to work when compared to various control interventions such as concentric exercise (CE), stretching, splinting, frictions and ultrasound. Levels of ...
CONC: The concentric cycling training will consist of 40 min cycling on a calibrated cycle ergometer (Life Fitness, USA). Time will start from 15 min and increase to achieve 40 min in week 4. The workload corresponding to 70% of VOpeak achieved during the incremental cycling test will be...
