Eccentric - specific gains
produced by neural mechanisms might not transfer well to COD ability, because of differences between the strength training exercise and the COD maneuver in terms of both movement pattern, and
contraction velocity.
Eccentric - specific gains
produced by peripheral mechanisms might be reasonably expected to transfer well to COD ability, because the stiffness of the passive elements within the muscle is not expected to be affected by the movement pattern, and may actually be increased by the velocity of the
contraction (Rehorn et al. 2014), making the properties of the passive elements even more relevant for high - velocity
contractions, than for low - velocity
contractions.
Although it is not well - known, strength training
produces adaptations in the endomysium or extracellular matrix of the muscle fiber (Jakobsen et al. 2016), and it is possible that
eccentric training could lead to greater changes in the collagen content of muscles than similar concentric
contractions (Heinemeier et al. 2007; Holm et al. 2017), which could in turn alter the properties of the passive elements that underpin
eccentric - specific strength.

Bourne et al. (2015) found that the Nordic hamstring curl
produced preferentially higher semitendinosus EMG amplitude; but again, Zebis et al. (2013) did not report any preferential activation; Mendiguchia et al. (2013a) reported preferential biceps (short head) activation; and Ditroilo et al. (2013) reported that biceps femoris EMG amplitude exceeded maximum voluntary
eccentric contraction levels by some margin.
Currently, it is thought that muscle strains are
produced when the energy absorbed during an
eccentric contraction is greater than the muscle fibers can handle, but whether increased fascicle lengths enable greater energy to be absorbed is unclear.
