Not exact matches

The eccentric (or negative) muscle action happens when the muscle lengthens in a controlled manner, meaning the weight is going back to where it started.

In fact, many studies have shown that the eccentric portion of the lift, i.e. the lowering of the weights, is what actually builds muscle mass.

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.

Make sure to always perform the negative, eccentric part of the lift in a very slow and controlled manner, and allow for an equally slow and smooth transition to the positive, or concentric portion, but then lift the weight up explosively to recruit as many muscle fibers as possible.

There are 3 phases of muscle activity when doing an exercise: concentric (when the muscle shortens), isometric (when the muscle is static and held in place under tension) and eccentric (when the muscle lengthens).

So, in order to achieve an ideal rep speed to induce muscle growth you should lift faster and more explosively on the concentric phase, and use a slower controlled speed on the eccentric one.

There is an interesting fact that when you do the eccentric part of the exercise, the muscle is actually much stronger than in the concentric part.

Some personal trainers will tell you that the best way to lift is explosively, thereby maximizing fiber recruitment and triggering greater growth, while others claim that lifting in a slow and controlled manner, especially on the eccentric portion of the movement, will create greater muscle tension and lead to greater hypertrophy.

In this article, we will review all the benefits that negative or eccentric exercising has to offer when it comes to building muscle size.

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

As previously mentioned, eccentric isometrics program the body to move in the most biomechanically efficient positions inevitably leading to enhanced performance as well as decreased joint and muscle inflammation.

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

Muscle failure in a properly performed eccentric exercise is associated with a tetanus - like response.

This is somewhat obvious but spending greater time in the stretched position while staying tight and learning how to co-contract reciprocal muscle groups (during eccentric lengthening) is one of the most effective methods for enhancing mobility.

Before going in to the details of concentric and eccentric muscle movements, I would like you to discover a very important fact about muscular tension.

A plyometric effort is, when the body makes use of the so called stretch - shortening cycle where the muscle is rapidly stretched in the eccentric phase, followed by a rapid shortening of the muscle in the concentric phase.

For instance, a study on kicking has shown that maximal eccentric adductor longus muscle activation coincides with both maximal rate of adductor longus lengthening and maximal hip extension suggesting a higher risk in this part of the kicking action.»

In the video I talk about why tearing the muscle tissue on the eccentric movement is so important.

Through 30s intervals of both compound and isolation movements, as well as rotation through focusing on eccentric, concentric, and isometric contractions, he designs training sessions that improve blood flow, strengthen connective tissue, and, of course, bulid muscle endurance in weak areas.

An emphasis on increasing muscle fascicle length rather than pennation angle may therefore be beneficial for both eccentric and concentric strength, in comparison with concentric training.

Importantly, this greater efficiency translates to lower muscle activation (measured by EMG), as well as a smaller metabolic cost in the eccentric phase compared to the concentric phase, when using the same external force (Bigland - Ritchie & Woods, 1976; Duchateau & Enoka, 2016).

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 angleIn 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 anglein 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 anglein high - velocity strength, smaller increases in RFD, and greater increases in strength at long muscle lengths (by a shift in the optimum anglein RFD, and greater increases in strength at long muscle lengths (by a shift in the optimum anglein strength at long muscle lengths (by a shift in the optimum anglein the optimum angle).

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.

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).

However, it might also explain the greater gains in eccentric - specific strength, because the larger number of lateral attachments formed would increase the resistance of the muscle to lengthening.

This means that force production is greater (and more efficient) in the eccentric phase than the concentric phase, because passive elements resist lengthening of the muscle fibers in the eccentric phase, but not in the concentric phase.

Increasing muscle fascicle length through eccentric training could therefore be a valuable method for improving athletic performance in high - velocity movements, such as sprinting.

Some studies have indicated that electroencephalography (EEG)- derived movement - related cortical potentials (MRCPs) are greater during eccentric muscle actions than in concentric contractions (Fang et al. 2001; 2004).

There are indications that eccentric training could produce even more preferential hypertrophy in type II muscle fiber area, compared to concentric training (Hortobágyi et al. 2000; Friedmann - Bette et al. 2010), but not all studies have reported the same findings (Mayhew et al. 1995; Seger et al. 1998).

Muscle fascicle length increases more after eccentric training than after concentric training (Ema et al. 2016), probably through a larger increase in the number of sarcomeres in series within the myofibrils of a muscle fiber (Brughelli & Cronin, 2007; Butterfield, Muscle fascicle length increases more after eccentric training than after concentric training (Ema et al. 2016), probably through a larger increase in the number of sarcomeres in series within the myofibrils of a muscle fiber (Brughelli & Cronin, 2007; Butterfield, muscle fiber (Brughelli & Cronin, 2007; Butterfield, 2012).

This would then explain why eccentric training tends to produce greater gains in strength overall, because eccentric training typically involves greater absolute loads (as well as more muscle damage).

The stretch - shortening cycle is simply the time it takes your muscle to transition from an «eccentric» phase, in which a muscle is lengthening (such as when your foot lands during running), to a «concentric» phase, in which the muscle is contracting (such as when your foot pushes back off the ground).
