Sentences with phrase «by eccentric muscle contraction»

• 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 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.

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

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.

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.
