Moreover, since there is evidence of specificity in strength gains with regard to muscle action, eccentric training is often (but not always) used to
improve eccentric strength.
First you should strive to
improve your eccentric strength.

Medicine ball wall throws: «This exercise provides a cardio workout while also
improving arm
strength on the concentric and
eccentric muscle phases for maximum toning result,» Save says.
A study in the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery found that six weeks of
eccentric exercise
improved strength and reduced pain and disability in people with chronic elbow tendonitis better than traditional treatments such as icing, stretching and massage, while another study found that
eccentric strength training significantly reduced the symptoms of Achilles tendonitis and tendonopathy of the knee.
The use of heavy
eccentric strength training exercise together with more explosive, plyometric - like movements, therefore, seems to provide the ideal combination of mechanical load and neuromuscular recruitment needed to
improve the rate of force development.
Although necessary to
improve strength,
eccentric exercises per se have very limited applications in the training of athletes.
Eccentric strength can also
improve exercise technique.
Enhancing
eccentric strength improves an athlete's ability to absorb force (while decelerating), whereas isometrics will
improve an athletes ability to overcome inertia.
Additionally,
eccentric training has been found to be more effective than concentric training for

Eccentric training, where lowering slowly is the focus,
improves strength and fat loss since slowly lowering your bodyweight generates more muscular tension than just «dropping» to the floor.
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
