Eccentric contractions, characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex,
present several unique features compared with other types of contractions, which may lead …

Eccentric (ECC) exercise is classically used to improve muscle strength and power in
healthy subjects and athletes. Due to its specific physiological and mechanical properties …

Vol. 43, No. 1, pp. 00–00, 2011. Purpose: The effects of chronic eccentric-only versus
concentric-only exercise on muscle physiology and blood biochemistry were investigated …

Skeletal muscle generates force by either shortening (concentrically) or lengthening
(eccentrically). Eccentric (ECC) exercise is characterized by a lower metabolic demand and …

Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), described as the acute weakness of the
musculature after unaccustomed eccentric exercise, increases oxidative metabolism at rest …

This review compared the effects of eccentric versus concentric exercise training in healthy
people and people with metabolic disease. A systematic search on Cochrane Central …

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is one of the most frequent overuse injuries in the ankle. The
evidence base for its conservative management AT continues to evolve, but there is still a …

The benefits of eccentric (ECC) training on fat mass (FM) remain underexplored. We
hypothesized that in obese adolescents, ECC cycling training is more efficient for …

[Purpose] The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between CK
variability and body composition and muscle damage markers following eccentric …

The peripheral T-cell pool undergoes a striking age associated remodeling which is
accelerated by progressive insulin resistance. Exercise training is known to delay several …
