Sentences with phrase «eccentric training»

But that does not mean that they have enjoyed all of the other adaptations that occur after eccentric training.

In any event, most long - term training studies have addressed the impact of eccentric training on the angle of peak torque or muscle strain injury risk in the hamstrings muscle group.

Therefore, eccentric training for the hamstrings is strongly recommended for the rehabilitation of injured athletes.

This superior ability to absorb energy is probably why eccentric training then leads to a reduction in the risk of getting a muscle strain injury.

Normal strength training involves both lowering and lifting a weight, while eccentric training involves just performing the lowering phase.

So eccentric training could produce greater high - velocity strength gains, as well as superior gains in full range of motion strength.

This section provides a summary of the long - term studies performed using eccentric training exercises for the hamstrings, either for injury prevention or for injury rehabilitation.

In European strength - training textbooks, precise eccentric training protocols abound.

The study also showed that fast velocity eccentric training resulted in the greatest increases in eccentric torque.

Even though eccentric training shows great potential for strength improvement, it nonetheless has a few disadvantages.

You have to be more cautious while doing eccentric training as the incidence of injury is higher.

So here's the good news: if you're dieting you probably will lose muscle and strength, but eccentric training helps preserve your gains.

So if strength (even eccentric strength) is not a perfectly reliable risk factor, but eccentric training reduces the risk of incurring a muscle strain injury, what it going on?

If anything, we might expect that increases in muscle stiffness should be superior after eccentric training.

I believe there should be a continuous, progressive build - up of eccentric training.

This increased ability to absorb energy may be why eccentric training is so effective for reducing muscle strains.

Overall, there is a strong indication that eccentric training for the hamstrings is beneficial for reducing the risk of novel hamstring strain injury.

And just as you must achieve a high level of accomplishment to be labeled eccentric, you must also achieve a high level of base strength to use eccentric training.

Sylvain Bouchard, a speed skater I coached who set two World records, did as much as 50 % of his workload with eccentric training to improve his starting speed.

Most of the research into the effects of eccentric training on muscle architecture have focused on the changes in muscle fascicle length.

So eccentric training produces greater gains in eccentric strength than in concentric strength (and vice versa).

By combining heavy, eccentric loads (up to 4 times an athlete's body weight) with explosive, violent concentric efforts, overspeed eccentric training provides the unique opportunity for elite level throwers to increase explosive strength without placing an excessive amount of stress on the lower extremities.

On the other hand, increasing muscle fascicle length through eccentric training seems to be a disadvantage for changes in rate of force development (RFD), probably because it causes a decrease in muscle stiffness (Kay et al. 2016).

In addition, the increases in EMG amplitudes after eccentric training seem to be greater when tested in eccentric strength tests, which is a promising sign for explaining eccentric - specific strength (Hortobágyi et al. 1996).

Although Jones helped popularize eccentric training in this country, as in the case of the variable resistance cam, he did not invent it.

Eccentric training causes more muscle damage because the load per motor unit is larger.

To help offset the increased cortisol levels from the new stress imposed by eccentric training, I recommend Vitamin C (5,000 mg per day), GKGtm, and aspirin [some experts recommend a regular adult dosage 2 tablets].

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.

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.

The optimal way to introduce exclusive eccentric training into a program has not yet been established, but the research shows this training technique can safely be introduced to a variety of populations including young and old, male and female, etc., to significantly improve muscle strength6.

The Nordic hamstring curl is a common eccentric training exercise.

One of the methods these athletes use to achieve such hypertrophy is the combination of lifting maximal loads (1 - 5 RM) and fast eccentric training (plyometrics).

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).

M. Roig at the University of British Columbia found that «Eccentric training performed at high intensities was shown to be more effective in promoting increases in muscle.»

In the sporting world, slow eccentric training associates at times with a diminution in the rate of force development.

Eccentric training builds mass and lots of it!

Finnish and Norwegian sport scientists have demonstrated that eccentric training stimuli can be used periodically to improve or maintain the neuromuscular system's ability to generate fast force production.

PRO: Heavy eccentric training can lead to tensile muscle fiber damage that is a stimulus for tissue repair and growth.

Eccentric training differs from accentuated eccentric (also called eccentric overload) training, which involves working hard in both concentric and eccentric phases, but with an even greater load in the eccentric phase.

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

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

Since eccentric training involves far less fatigue for the same or greater force levels, this could reduce the stimulus for increasing type IIX muscle fiber proportion, while maintaining the stimulus for overall hypertrophy at the same level.

And long - term training studies show that the amount of certain types of collagen within a muscle can increase as a result of exercise and strength training, including eccentric training (Kjaer, 2004; Willems et al. 2010; Wisdom et al. 2015; Jakobsen et al. 2016), although others have not (Roman et al. 1993).

I'm not going to suggest pure eccentric training in this discussion (it's effective, but often impractical) nor am I a fan of the «Time Under Tension» (TUT) method where even the concentric aspect is performed slowly.

But is eccentric training necessary for increasing muscle fascicle length?

Eccentric training allows athletes to increase their eccentric strength (and therefore their ability to absorb force) more than their concentric strength (and therefore their ability to produce force).

This important study also addressed a long - term eccentric training program for the quadriceps, as rectus femoris muscle strains are also a common injury, especially in soccer players.
