In this study we investigated the influence of the loading condition (concentric vs. eccentric loading) on the pulley system of the finger. For this purpose 39 cadaver finger (14 hands, 10 donors) were fixed into an isokinetic loading device. The forces in the flexor tendons and at the ...
7 If this were indeed the case for the hamstring mechanics in the late swing phase of sprinting, would the injury then be due to the eccentric (muscle) or due to the concentric (fiber) contraction? And maybe we have it all wrong anyway. Maybe hamstring injuries have nothing to do with ...
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 ...
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 ...
[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 ...
130 Concentric contractions generally function to accelerate a limb; for example, the shoulder internal rotators accelerate the arm during the acceleration phase of throwing. Conversely, eccentric actions generally function to decelerate a limb and provide shock absorption; for example, the shoulder ...
