Augmented eccentric loading: theoretical and practical applications for the strength and conditioning professional
نویسنده
چکیده
The practice of incorporating augmented eccentric loading (AEL) into resistance exercise is still relatively new. Although limited, there is evidence supporting the contention that AEL may lead to both superior acute and chronic adaptations over more traditional methods. AEL involves coupled concentric and overloaded eccentric muscle actions, and attempts to optimise the muscular adaptations associated with stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) activities. Cluster set configurations may be used as a means for implementing AEL into periodised training plans, and may improve the quality of each AEL repetition when compared with more traditional set structures by offsetting the affects of fatigue. More research into concentric and eccentric relative loading, as well as the rate of eccentric loading is necessary to further define its role within the strength and conditioning community. However, it is possible that enhanced training effects may be achieved if increased eccentric loads are implemented into periodised strength-training programmes.

Behavior of FRP-Confined Reactive Powder Concrete Columns under Eccentric Loading
Fiber reinforced Polymers (FRP) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. Proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with FRP. In this paper, the influence of FRP thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

Effects of increased eccentric loading on bench press 1RM.
The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of additional eccentric loading on subsequent concentric strength. Eight subjects with some experience in weight training volunteered to perform maximal attempts in the barbell bench press using detaching hooks that allowed them to lower 105% of their concentric 1 repetition maximum (RM) and raise 100%. The detaching hooks allowed attachment ...

Partially Encased Composite (PEC) column is one of the recent achievements in the field of composite columns. This paper presents a combined experimental and theoretical study on the mechanical performances of six octagonal PEC columns subjected to axial compressive and bending moment loading. The major different between them was the concrete reinforcement details. The parameters studied in the...
متن کاملHamstrings strength imbalance in professional football (soccer) players in Australia.
The aim of this study was to describe the isokinetic thigh muscle strength profile of professional male football players in Australia. Concentric (60° and 240°·s(-1)) and eccentric (30° and 120°·s(-1)) hamstrings and quadriceps isokinetic strength was measured with a HUMAC NORM dynamometer. The primary variables were bilateral concentric and eccentric hamstring and quadriceps peak torque ratios...
