Not exact matches
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.
