Sentences with phrase «concentric training»

This means that the ratio of eccentric to concentric 1RM decreases after concentric training, but increases after eccentric training.

Exactly why eccentric training might produce differences in regional hypertrophy from concentric training is uncertain.

Although it has been extensively discussed whether eccentric training is superior to concentric training for hypertrophy (Roig et al. 2009), the answer probably lies in some of the other adaptations that occur after strength training, because hypertrophy should affect strength gains in all contraction modes in a similar way.

An emphasis on increasing muscle fascicle length rather than pennation angle may therefore be beneficial for both eccentric and concentric strength, in comparison with concentric training.

Since there are loads that can be used during eccentric training that can not be employed during concentric training, this could therefore be a mechanism by which eccentric - specific strength gains occur.

And although it not the topic of this article, it is worth noting that strength is genuinely «contraction mode - specific» because concentric training can also produce greater gains in concentric strength, compared to eccentric training (Vikne et al. 2006).

Importantly, eccentric training and concentric training produce comparable increases in collagen synthesis (and of related collagen growth factors) when the work done is matched between conditions (Moore et al. 2005), but eccentric training causes greater increases when the total volume (sets x reps) is matched between conditions (Heinemeier et al. 2007; Holm et al. 2017).

The effects of eccentric and concentric training at different velocities on muscle hypertrophy.

Seger, JY, Arvidson B, and Thorstensson A. Specific effects of eccentric and concentric training on muscle strength and morphology in humans.

«Eccentric training has been shown to produce greater muscle hypertrophy than concentric training as a result of greater ability for maximal force generating capacity during eccentric contractions.»

Several decades» worth of research has shown eccentric training protocols to yield greater increases in strength when compared to concentric training protocols 1.

Slow eccentric and explosive concentric training is completely overlooked by most people and doing so severely compromises the quality and benefits you get from your bodyweight workouts.

Muscle pennation angle seems to increase by more after concentric training, than after eccentric training (Ema et al. 2016; Franchi et al. 2016).

Currently, it is unknown whether eccentric training affects changes in antagonist co-activation differently from concentric training or standard strength training, although there is evidence that it can cause reductions (Pensini et al. 2002), as has been reported after some (mostly high - velocity) conventional strength training programs.

Additionally, eccentric training has been found to be more effective than concentric training for improving eccentric hamstring strength (Mjølsnes et al. 2004) as well as hamstring strength overall (Kaminski et al. 1998).

In comparison with concentric training, it has been proposed that eccentric training could cause either:

As a result, eccentric training can generate up to 1.3 times more tension than concentric training.

This suggests that greater increases in collagen may occur after eccentric training than after concentric training, primarily as a result of the greater mechanical loading stimulus.

In addition, it is interesting to observe that after programs of unilateral exercise, eccentric training produces a greater cross-over of strength gains from the trained limb to the untrained limb than concentric training (Hortobágyi et al. 1997; Seger et al. 1998; Nickols - Richardson et al. 2007; Kidgell et al. 2015).

The addition of sarcomeres in parallel after concentric training (because of increases in pennation angle) after concentric training may lead to greater increases in muscle size at the mid-point of the muscle (Franchi et al. 2014).

There are indications that eccentric training could produce even more preferential hypertrophy in type II muscle fiber area, compared to concentric training (Hortobágyi et al. 2000; Friedmann - Bette et al. 2010), but not all studies have reported the same findings (Mayhew et al. 1995; Seger et al. 1998).

Muscle fascicle length increases more after eccentric training than after concentric training (Ema et al. 2016), probably through a larger increase in the number of sarcomeres in series within the myofibrils of a muscle fiber (Brughelli & Cronin, 2007; Butterfield, 2012).

This indicates that adaptations to the costameres may be greater after eccentric training, than after concentric training.

Kidgell et al. (2015) suggested that this occurs because of greater reductions in corticospinal inhibition following eccentric training, compared to after concentric training.

Importantly, eccentric training seems to increase EMG amplitudes to a greater extent than concentric training, in both isometric and eccentric strength tests (Komi & Buskirk, 1972; Hortobágyi et al. 1997; Aagaard et al. 2000), but this is by no means a uniform finding (Higbie et al. 1996).

There are many features of the musculoskeletal system that change differently after eccentric training compared to after concentric training:

It has been argued that eccentric training might produce differences in regional hypertrophy from concentric training (Hedayatpour & Falla, 2012).

Gains in eccentric strength are greater after eccentric training, compared to after concentric training (Komi & Buskirk, 1972; Higbie et al. 1996; Hortobágyi et al. 1996; 2000; Miller et al. 2006; Vikne et al. 2006; Nickols - Richardson et al. 2007).

In contrast, it seems much more likely that eccentric training leads to a smaller reductions in the proportion of type IIX fibers, compared to concentric training (Colliander & Tesch, 1990; Hortobágyi et al. 1996; Raue et al. 2005; Vikne et al. 2006).

However, while differences in regional hypertrophy have been observed after eccentric and concentric training (Franchi et al. 2014), there are also contrary reports (Smith & Rutherford, 1995; Blazevich et al. 2007).

Strength training leads to increased tendon stiffness, and although the effects are affected by load (higher loads are better), they do not differ between eccentric and concentric training (Bohm et al. 2015).

In contrast, while muscle stiffness probably increases slightly after concentric training, most likely because of increases in ECM and titin content (Gillies & Lieber, 2011) it actually decreases after eccentric training (Kay et al. 2016), which may explain why it tends to produce smaller improvements in RFD compared to concentric training (Blazevich et al. 2008).

Eccentric training resulted in greater hypertrophy than concentric training.

«It causes more micro-tears in the muscle than concentric training, so eccentric training can lead to increased strength and muscle mass,» Donavanik says.

Research showed that exclusively eccentric submaximal training improved eccentric and isometric strength significantly (more than concentric training) and yielded greater neural adaptations 5.

The study findings were consistent with previous research, confirming that eccentric training was superior to concentric training for strength increases.

Eccentric training has been shown to cause greater neuromuscular adaptations than concentric training, even if force levels are equated during training.
