Since strength is specific, then: strength training for the hip extensors and knee extensors with eccentric - only muscle actions or
accentuated eccentric loading should lead to superior gains in COD ability compared to conventional strength training.
A recent study published in Frontiers in Physiology found that
accentuated eccentric loading (AEL)-- which involves lowering a weight slowly during the lengthening of the muscle, rather than letting it drop — might be more effective in avoiding a plateau then changing a program week to week.Scientists conducted a ten - week experiment involving three strength - training groups, with the AEL programming noting an increase in force production, work capacity, muscle activation and resistance compared to the other methods.
