The predominant options are exercises with an emphasis on either concentric or eccentric contractions. Eccentric exercises promote greater strength gains compared to classical concentric stimuli ...

In the present study, 10 sessions of eccentric contraction training led to a significant increase in isotonic strength in comparison to a single session of eccentric stress. Moreover, both stress ...

You might think you need to lift heavy weights to build muscle. But, it's when you're lowering the weight that the real magic happens. It's called Eccentric Exercise, and it's the secret workout ...

Push exercises are important for building front ... phase of the pull-up (read: concentric vs eccentric contraction). In this phase, muscles lengthen while overcoming resistance.

Background Most studies of exercise-induced muscle injury have focussed on eccentric contractions, which are known to produce damage and delayed soreness. It is less well known that isometric ...

This movement can be a concentric or eccentric muscular contraction. Isotonic concentric contraction – this involves the muscle shortening. The origin and insertion of the muscle move closer ...
