Sentences with phrase «why eccentric strength»

This simple example of how strength is specific may well be one of the key reasons why eccentric strength is so effective for reducing muscle strain injury risk, as it enables the muscles to absorb more kinetic energy than they can typically produce.

And this is why eccentric strength provides an accurate estimation of absolute strength.

Not exact matches

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).

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.

The neural mechanisms underpinning the adaptations to eccentric strength gains may therefore transfer reasonably well from strength training exercises to sprinting, although exactly why is unclear.
