Sentences with phrase «performed eccentric contraction»

Not exact matches

It may be argued that by performing exercises in this manner one misses the benefit of a rapid eccentric contraction, but a healthy athlete with a slightly reduced training effect always beats an injured athlete with any training effect.

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.

Over the past several decades, numerous studies have established that eccentric contractions can maximize the force exerted and the work performed by muscle... that they can attenuate the mechanical effects of impact forces; and that they enhance the [good] tissue damage associated with exercise.

Yet, force is greater than expected when isometric contractions are performed after eccentric contractions.

The greatest difference in strength - favoring eccentric contractions is seen when both eccentric and concentric contractions are performed at a high velocity.

This greater stiffness of the passive elements may therefore allow for greater energy absorption (Kay et al. 2016) during eccentric contractions, such as those performed by the hamstrings during sprinting.
