The first eight - week phase was
the eccentric training phase on one arm, and the second eight weeks was concentric on the opposite arm.
Not exact matches
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.
Superslow
training places tension on muscle fibers throughout the entire movement, both concentric and
eccentric phases.
Many of these reviews have discussed the unique effects of
eccentric training, which seem to arise from the differences between
eccentric and concentric
phases of an exercise.
Increasing muscle fascicle length through
eccentric training could therefore be a valuable method for improving athletic performance in movements that have peak contractions at long muscle lengths, such as the terminal swing
phase of sprinting, or the ground contact
phase of sharp change of direction (COD) maneuvers.
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 eccentr

Eccentric training is strength
training using only the lowering
phase of an exercise.
Normal strength
training involves both lowering and lifting a weight, while
eccentric training involves just performing the lowering
phase.
When
training with plyometrics (or any of the other power strategies you're about to discover), the delay between the stretching,
eccentric phase, and the shortening, concentric
phase needs to be very short — no longer than about a quarter of a second.
What happens if we incorporate isometrics all along the strength
training movement pattern through the
eccentric (lowering / yielding)
phase.
In the scientific community, it's long been understood that the
eccentric (lowering)
phase of resistance
training leads to the lion's share of the overall
training stimulus, especially regarding hypertrophy.
Eccentric training is when you purposely slow down the negative phase (eccentric phase) o
Eccentric training is when you purposely slow down the negative
phase (
eccentric phase) o
eccentric phase) of a lift.
So you could have a
training partner take the weight on the
eccentric while you lift on the raising, or concentric,
phase.
Muscle soreness is a bi-product of overloading the
eccentric or lengthening
phase of a strength
training movement, especially as it relates to the final 30 % of the movement.
Let me share some examples of where this «
eccentric phase» is created with traditional strength
training exercises:
Train in the
eccentric phase (negatives)-- If you've never done it before you will soon realize how challenging it can be.
By limiting or removing the
eccentric phase you will allow your multi-sport athletes to be able to
train heavy without having a high level of soreness the following days.
For example,
eccentric - only
training increases our strength much more in the
eccentric phase, than in the concentric
phase.
This means that the concentric
phase is
trained comparatively harder, and concentric strength increases by more than
eccentric strength.
Although conventional stretch - shortening cycle (SSC) strength
training involves an
eccentric phase, it decreases the
eccentric - to - concentric strength ratio.
