Sentences with phrase «in eccentric strength»

We say that strength is eccentric - specific, because eccentric - only training leads to proportionally much greater increases in eccentric strength compared with concentric strength (Vikne et al. 2006).

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

So eccentric training is helpful for preventing muscle strains, but this may be partly because of various specific changes that happen after eccentric training, including specific gains in eccentric strength (relative to isometric or concentric strength) and not just because of overall strength gains.

Eccentric training produces specific gains in eccentric strength, which can be observed as an increase in the eccentric - to - concentric strength ratio.

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).

Not exact matches

The concentric phase helps hold strength, but the eccentric phase extends the time of the muscle under tension, which increases the micro tears of the muscle and in turn makes the muscle grow bigger.

Eccentric load in some of the basic, compound strength training exercises can range anywhere between 120 % and 140 % as a combination of 1/3 of weight on the bar — on an average 45 % to 65 % of 1RM — and 2/3 of weight on each additional plate so that, upon release, an increasing amount of force can be applied against lighter weights.

Although necessary to improve strength, eccentric exercises per se have very limited applications in the training of athletes.

Training with heavier loads (whether eccentric or concentric) leads to greater gains in strength than training with moderate (Schoenfeld et al. 2016) or light (Schoenfeld et al. 2015) loads, even when volume loads are not matched.

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.

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).

Whether this might then lead to differences in eccentric - specific strength is unclear.

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.

Yet, despite this strong theoretical basis, it is still unclear whether modifications in titin occur in humans, and contribute to eccentric - specific strength gains.

In addition, it is interesting to observe that after programs of unilateral exercise, eccentric training produces a greater cross-over of strength gains from the trained limb to the untrained limb than concentric training (Hortobágyi et al. 1997; Seger et al. 1998; Nickols - Richardson et al. 2007; Kidgell et al. 2015).

Ultimately, what we can say is that since changes in tendon stiffness do not seem to differ between concentric and eccentric training, that changes in tendon stiffness are probably not responsible for the specificity of strength gains after eccentric training.

Gains in eccentric - specific strength after eccentric training are probably caused by both peripheral and central factors.

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).

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.

This means that the strength gains after eccentric training are greater when measured in an eccentric test of strength, compared to in a concentric test of strength.

So although there might be small differences in regional hypertrophy between concentric and eccentric training (because of the differences in the muscle architecture adaptations), it is still unclear whether this phenomenon is responsible for the specificity of strength gains after eccentric training.

Therefore, high - velocity strength may be more relevant than rate of force development in concentric contractions, compared to in isometric and eccentric contractions.

A review in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research indicates that eccentrics should generally take 2 — 4 seconds to perform.

Keeping in mind that the eccentric portion (when the prime mover is stretching or lengthening) should be performed slower, and contraction performed explosively, to maximize strength and muscle building.

To optimally develop strength all three contraction types must be addressed individually throughout the training process in an eccentric → isometric → concentric fashion

Eccentric - specific gains produced by neural mechanisms might not transfer well to COD ability, because of differences between the strength training exercise and the COD maneuver in terms of both movement pattern, and contraction velocity.

Even so, the adaptations that produce eccentric - specific strength after eccentric training do not appear to be strongly velocity - specific (Alt et al. 2017), and there are indications that athletic populations display smaller differences between maximal involuntary and voluntary eccentric force, even in unfamiliar movements (Amiridis et al. 1996).

For example, eccentric - only training increases our strength much more in the eccentric phase, than in the concentric phase.

Since strength is specific, then: strength training for the hip extensors and knee extensors with eccentric - only muscle actions or accentuated eccentric loading should lead to superior gains in COD ability compared to conventional strength training.

Although it is not well - known, strength training produces adaptations in the endomysium or extracellular matrix of the muscle fiber (Jakobsen et al. 2016), and it is possible that eccentric training could lead to greater changes in the collagen content of muscles than similar concentric contractions (Heinemeier et al. 2007; Holm et al. 2017), which could in turn alter the properties of the passive elements that underpin eccentric - specific strength.

Since the braking phase seems so important in COD maneuvers, and since eccentric strength is what determines braking ability, it seems likely that COD ability will benefit from increasing eccentric - specific strength.

Thus, the neural mechanisms underpinning the adaptations to eccentric strength gains may in fact transfer well from strength training exercises to athletic movements, although exactly why remains to be established.

Since this is about primal - what is the primal justification for having more strength in eccentric phase of muscle contraction?

During eccentric exercises, strength moves are generally performed in a pattern of one - to two - seconds for the lifting portion and three - to five - seconds for the lowering, or negative, portion.»

In other words, after a long period of time carrying out eccentric strength training, you tend to increase eccentric strength by more than concentric strength.

Eccentric training is a very popular training tool for athletes, because it is very effective for producing large gains in maximum strength, increasing muscle fascicle lengths, and reducing the risk of muscle strain injury.
