The predominant options are exercises with an emphasis on either concentric or eccentric contractions. Eccentric exercises promote greater strength gains compared to classical concentric stimuli ...

The review suggests that eccentric and concentric muscle actions produce ... and with certain assessment methods or contraction types. The way we load the eccentric phase of the lift is integral ...

Based on the present findings, a training program with increasing loads involving fast concentric and slow eccentric contractions is safe for healthy individuals. The use of this protocol in ...

Methods: In this prospective study, athletes (mean age 25 years) with jumper’s knee were randomised to treatment with either painful eccentric or painful concentric quadriceps training on a decline ...
