Sentences with phrase «regional hypertrophy»

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).

It is possible that the different regional hypertrophy observed after training at long or short muscle lengths could in fact be closely related to the changes in muscle fascicle length, because changes in muscle fascicle length have been linked to greater increases in muscle size in the distal regions of the muscle (Franchi 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).

This regional hypertrophy may arise because of different changes in muscle architecture.

Few studies have reported on changes in regional hypertrophy when comparing groups training with different types of external load.

This specificity is likely attributable to differences in regional hypertrophy (which may be a function of different increases in muscle fascicle length) and joint angle - specific changes in neural drive, just like partial and full range of motion training.

If this is the case, we should find that the main causes of specificity in strength gains after training with different types of external load are regional hypertrophy and joint angle - specific changes in neural drive (especially at end range of motion).

Joint angle - specific strength gains at longer muscle lengths tend to be caused by regional hypertrophy.

Hence, isolation exercises build «regional hypertrophy.»

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.

It has been argued that eccentric training might produce differences in regional hypertrophy from concentric training (Hedayatpour & Falla, 2012).

Exactly why eccentric training might produce differences in regional hypertrophy from concentric training is uncertain.

Italian researchers were the first to point out that there is regional development occurring in hypertrophy training.
