Sentences with phrase «eccentric contractions»

The greatest difference in strength - favoring eccentric contractions is seen when both eccentric and concentric contractions are performed at a high velocity.

Eccentric contractions are muscle - lengthening contractions that some say work the muscle harder than a regular concentric contraction.

However, isometric force is greater than expected when contractions follow eccentric contractions compared to when they follow concentric contractions at the same muscle length (e.g. Morgan et al. 2000).

Yet, force is greater than expected when isometric contractions are performed after eccentric contractions.

Superslow encompasses the idea of slow and measured concentric and eccentric contractions.

Eccentric contractions create more muscle damage than concentric contractions — and most studies show that eccentric contractions lead to greater strength gains and muscle hypertrophy than concentric contractions.

In contrast, eccentric contractions are where the muscle lengthens while holding tension.

However, we do know that eccentric contractions create more muscle damage and also more effective for hypertrophying a muscle.

«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.»

They cause powerful eccentric contractions, which build lean muscle mass.

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.

Eccentric contractions require unique activation strategies by the nervous system.

Working your muscles involve both concentric and eccentric contractions.

This was reflected by people doing reasonably well on the workout by sticking to singles the entire time on the chest - to - bar pull - ups in an effort to avoid the eccentric contractions and save their shoulders.

Even though you are stronger in eccentric contractions than in concentric contractions, you recruit only half the fibers when lowering a load, hence the actual tension on the muscle recruited is double.

Therefore, high - velocity strength may be more relevant than rate of force development in concentric contractions, compared to in isometric and eccentric contractions.

And titin seems to be responsible for many of the unique behaviors of eccentric contractions, including residual force enhancement (Shalabi et al. 2016).

And studies using functional MRI measures have shown that the amount of cortical brain area used is greater during eccentric contractions than in concentric contractions (Yao et al. 2014), while functional connectivity between the primary motor cortex and other parts of the brain is reduced (Yao et al. 2016).

Eccentric contractions in unprepared muscles can cause micro traumas to the muscle that result in soreness.

With this in mind, it makes no sense to have such a short, eccentric contractions.

Eccentric contractions are much more challenging on the muscle and so should be used in the late stages of rehabilitation only.

Multiple studies have found that eccentric contractions are an untapped source of insane muscle growth.

That being said, the method does not differentiate among concentric, isometric and eccentric contractions, which are all included in a traditional set.

Overexpression of Galgt2 in skeletal muscle prevents injury resulting from eccentric contractions in both mdx and wild - type mice.

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).

We're talking eccentric contraction of muscles so they are both the primary muscle (s) in the initiation and completion of a motion, while ALSO lengthening the muscle in the process.

Most people underestimate the importance of eccentric training because they don't know that there is more mechanical load per motor unit during the eccentric phase of an exercise, and the reason for this is that eccentric contraction involves fewer motor units.

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.

This helps to develop power in the quadricep muscles (amongst others) as landing into a squat position involves an eccentric contraction of the quads to decrease rapid knee bending, before a concentric contraction to straighten the knees and jump up.

So, the next time you train arms, target one of the exercises to lengthen the eccentric contraction.

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

While all kinds of muscular contraction can cause soreness, eccentric contraction — where the muscle lengthens as it contracts — most often leads to DOMS, according to Mike.

It may be argued that by performing exercises in this manner one misses the benefit of a rapid eccentric contraction, but a healthy athlete with a slightly reduced training effect always beats an injured athlete with any training effect.

Eccentric contraction is used for deceleration.

On the other hand, lowering the weight (not surprisingly) is the negative phase and the eccentric contraction.

An eccentric contraction is the lengthening of the muscle under load.

The underlying mechanism of the SSC is, that during the lengthening or eccentric contraction the muscle and tendons can store energy, often named as «elastic energy», and this energy can be released during the shortening or concentric contraction.

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

Alex said it himself in that article «it's possible that ice baths would outperform bath soap in an eccentric contraction protocol.»

There are many ways you can do an eccentric contraction while doing a pull up.

By adjusting the machine appropriately, you can achieve a peak contraction and eccentric contraction that can not readily be matched.

This movement is best done with a slow eccentric contraction, followed by a faster concentric.

The way to circumvent the problem rapidly is to do the concentric contraction with the feet dorsiflexed and lower the resistance for the eccentric contraction with the feet plantar flexed.

An example of an eccentric contraction is the downward phase of a biceps curl where your arms return to the resting position as you lower the weight in a controlled manner.

I just realized I had the wrong idea of what and eccentric contraction is, so nevermind the examples on the last paragraph.

Bourne et al. (2015) found that the Nordic hamstring curl produced preferentially higher semitendinosus EMG amplitude; but again, Zebis et al. (2013) did not report any preferential activation; Mendiguchia et al. (2013a) reported preferential biceps (short head) activation; and Ditroilo et al. (2013) reported that biceps femoris EMG amplitude exceeded maximum voluntary eccentric contraction levels by some margin.

Currently, it is thought that muscle strains are produced when the energy absorbed during an eccentric contraction is greater than the muscle fibers can handle, but whether increased fascicle lengths enable greater energy to be absorbed is unclear.
