An eccentric contraction involves the active lengthening of muscle under an external load.
The molecular and neural mechanisms underpinning eccentric contractions differ from those …

ABSTRACT A number of studies over the last few decades have established that the control
strategy employed by the nervous system during lengthening (eccentric) differs from those …

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 …

Accentuated eccentric loading (AEL) prescribes eccentric load magnitude in excess of the
concentric prescription using movements that require coupled eccentric and concentric …

The purpose of this brief review is to examine our current knowledge of the neural control of
eccentric contractions. The review focuses on three main issues. The first issue considers …

Strength training results in changes in skeletal muscle; however, changes in the central
nervous system also occur. Over the last 15 years, non‐invasive brain stimulation …

Aim: Strength training of one limb results in a substantial increase in the strength of the
untrained limb, however, it remains unknown what the corticospinal responses are following …

Background Differences in the excitability of motor generating neural pathways are reported
following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) that is associated with quadriceps …

Context: Neuromuscular alterations are a major causal factor of primary and secondary
injuries. Though injury prevention programs have experienced some success, rates of …

Objectives This study investigated effects of plyometric training (6 weeks, 3 sessions/week)
on maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) strength and neural activation of the knee …
