Sentences with phrase «by eccentric muscle»

Assessing the effect of bench press muscle action and region, Newton et al. (1997) found that a greater concentric average velocity was achieved at all loads between 15 — 90 % of 1RM during the bench press throw when preceded by the eccentric muscle action compared to the concentric - only muscle action.

• Takes advantage of the stretch shortening cycle → Uses energy stored by eccentric muscle contraction (lengthening phase) quickly followed by concentric muscle contraction (shortening phase) to generate high amounts of power.

Not exact matches

This loads the leg by rapidly forcing its muscles to stretch and undergo rapid eccentric contraction (Just think of compressing the coils of a strong and stiff spring).

The best way to perfect your peaks is by giving more attention to eccentrics, which allow for preferential fast - twitch muscle fiber recruitment and prolonged time under tension.

Greater muscle damage induced by fast versus slow velocity eccentric exercise.

The downward phase of a push - up involves an eccentric contraction of the chest muscles, which is immediately followed by a strong concentric contraction to push back up and clap the hands.

Early research on human muscles by Komi and Bosco (1978), and Komi (1984; 1986) demonstrated that concentric muscle work was increased when preceded by active stretch (eccentric action).

An excellent text on eccentric training for sports is Eccentric Muscle Training in Sports and Orthopedics by Mareccentric training for sports is Eccentric Muscle Training in Sports and Orthopedics by MarEccentric Muscle Training in Sports and Orthopedics by Mark Albert.

A plyometric exercise is one that has an explosive concentric contraction (shortening of the muscle) preceded by an eccentric contraction (lengthening of muscle).

A plyometric effort is, when the body makes use of the so called stretch - shortening cycle where the muscle is rapidly stretched in the eccentric phase, followed by a rapid shortening of the muscle in the concentric phase.

Importantly, this greater efficiency translates to lower muscle activation (measured by EMG), as well as a smaller metabolic cost in the eccentric phase compared to the concentric phase, when using the same external force (Bigland - Ritchie & Woods, 1976; Duchateau & Enoka, 2016).

In summary, it seems likely that the increases in muscle fascicle length that happen as a result of eccentric training lead to greater increases in high - velocity strength, smaller increases in RFD, and greater increases in strength at long muscle lengths (by a shift in the optimum angle).

With regards to exercise, a study by Maridakis et al [3] found that moderate ingestion of caffeine (5 mg per kg body weight - around the equivalent of 2 cups of coffee) produced a large reduction in pain resulting from eccentric exercise — induced, delayed - onset muscle injury by ~ 48 %.

Let me say it clearly; eccentric training, especially paired with the right diet will help scorch body fat while simultaneously preserving muscle by adding more intensity to your training, WITHOUT adding more weight, frequency, or volume to your lifting regimen.

During the stretch - shortening cycle a muscle gets stretched or lengthened (eccentric contraction), followed by an instant shortening (concentric contraction).

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.

Damage produced by eccentric exercise was more persistent than previously reported, indicating that more than 10 days may be necessary for recovery of muscle ultrastructure and carbohydrate reserves.

Over the past several decades, numerous studies have established that eccentric contractions can maximize the force exerted and the work performed by muscle... that they can attenuate the mechanical effects of impact forces; and that they enhance the [good] tissue damage associated with exercise.

I would love to see more studies done about the potential muscle damage that can be caused by eccentric movements (especially improperly performed).

Similarly, peak moment ratios between muscle groups can be performed by setting the dynamometer to perform concentric isokinetic muscle actions in both directions, rather than concentric in one direction and eccentric in the other.

In contrast, they found no difference in peak bar velocity at all loads except 75 % of 1RM when comparing the bench press throw immediately preceded by a fast eccentric muscle action and the concentric - only muscle action condition.

All of this means that when you challenge your body to do more WORK — for instance, by going very slowly on the eccentric portion of the movement — you get more of your important type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers involved... which means you become more metabolically active to burn fat... AND build greater strength.
