So does that mean if you already have
high eccentric strength, you have a lower risk of suffering from a muscle strain?
Not exact matches
The
higher number is your max
eccentric strength.
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).
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.
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).
Therefore,
high - velocity
strength may be more relevant than rate of force development in concentric contractions, compared to in isometric and
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 strength is preferentially improved by eccentric training, high - velocity strength is best enhanced by using fast bar speeds, strength in partial ranges of motion is improved more by training with partial exercises, maximum strength is increased more by training with heavy loads, and strength in unstable environments is best improved by strength training with a stability c
