The easiest way to understand how these factors drive the differences
in adaptations between full range of motion
training and partial range of motion
training, is to look at
isometric training at either short or long muscle lengths.
Traditionally, it has been assumed that neural factors were responsible for joint angle - specific gains
in strength after
isometric training at all joint angles (Kitai & Sale, 1989; Noorkõiv et al. 2014).
On the other hand, regional hypertrophy (but not always muscle fascicle length) seems more important than changes
in joint angle - specific neural drive for the joint angle - specific gains
in strength after
isometric training at long muscle lengths (Alegre et al. 2014; Noorkõiv et al. 2014).
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.
Studies exploring
isometric training at different muscle lengths have identified differences
in regional hypertrophy between
training groups, but not always
in muscle fascicle length (Noorkõiv et al. 2014).

Dynamic strength
training through either a (1) full or a (2) partial range of motion (ROM) are similar to
isometric strength
training at either (1) long or (2) short muscle lengths, because the muscle is only really challenged at the point of peak contraction, and this is at the start of the concentric phase
in most common exercises.
