Sentences with phrase «low eccentric strength»

Since low eccentric strength has been identified as a risk factor for adductor - related groin injuries (see review by Hrysomallis, 2009), eccentric adduction strength is often a particular focus of such programs.

Not exact matches

Trainers lower the bar for female athletes resulting in bad eccentric strength, which in turn makes them bad decelerators and greatly increases potential for an ACL injury.

Negative pull - ups are a popular progression exercise that involves performing only the eccentric (lowering) portion of the movement, used for developing the strength needed for the full pull - up.

Since concentric strength potential is lower than the eccentric strength potential, any individual looking to create maximum fiber damage should emphasize eccentric overload in his training.

A recent study published in Frontiers in Physiology found that accentuated eccentric loading (AEL)-- which involves lowering a weight slowly during the lengthening of the muscle, rather than letting it drop — might be more effective in avoiding a plateau then changing a program week to week.Scientists conducted a ten - week experiment involving three strength - training groups, with the AEL programming noting an increase in force production, work capacity, muscle activation and resistance compared to the other methods.

By combining heavy, eccentric loads (up to 4 times an athlete's body weight) with explosive, violent concentric efforts, overspeed eccentric training provides the unique opportunity for elite level throwers to increase explosive strength without placing an excessive amount of stress on the lower extremities.

Eccentric training is strength training using only the lowering phase of an exercise.

Normal strength training involves both lowering and lifting a weight, while eccentric training involves just performing the lowering phase.

What happens if we incorporate isometrics all along the strength training movement pattern through the eccentric (lowering / yielding) phase.

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.»

So does that mean if you already have high eccentric strength, you have a lower risk of suffering from a muscle strain?

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.
