Eccentric exercises are increasingly prescribed in the assessment and rehabilitation of musculo-skeletal injuries and disorders [1,2]. Under experimental conditions, researchers have also used isokinetic tools for investigating delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induced by repeated eccentric bouts of contraction [3]. A better knowledge of the cardiovascular and metabolic response to maximal i...

This study aimed to was determine the effect of interval and resistance training with a focus on eccentric phase cardiovascular fitness strength elite handball players. Thirty players were recruited randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (age= 20.93±1.70; weight= 78.20±4.58; height= 178.26±3.86) control 21.40±1.76; 77.64±5.92; 176.87±4.43). The variables this muscle stamina, po...

CLINICAL SCENARIO Interventions aimed at safely overloading the quadriceps muscle after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are essential to reducing quadriceps muscle weakness that often persists long after the rehabilitation period. Despite the best efforts of clinicians and researchers to improve ACL rehabilitation techniques, a universally effective intervention to restore prein...

Eccentric jaw exercises has been known to cause muscle soreness but no studies have so far examined to what extent temporal summation mechanisms within the exercised muscles are changed. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of an eccentric biting exercise on the temporal summation, mechanical pressure sensitivity and jaw muscle activity. A total of 15 healthy men part...

conclusions the study findings indicate that short-term exercises had no significant effect on the ratio of vmo to vl muscle fiber angles in patients with pfps. results there were no significant differences in the muscle strength and fiber angle of the vmo, vl oblique and longus muscles after training between the control and experimental groups (p > 0.05). patients and methods thirty-five subje...

Background: Eccentric resistance training (ERT) in youth is advocated for aiding performance and injury risk. However, research investigating the applied practices of ERT its infancy. In this study, we surveyed perceptions practitioners utilizing to provide an understanding current application practice. Methods: Sixty-four strength conditioning coaches completed online survey reporting their us...

BACKGROUND Eccentric exercise is defined as a type of exercise in which the muscle produces power by extending. In contrast to isometric and concentric exercises, eccentric muscle activity is much more effective mechanically; however, it may expose the muscle to soreness. Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) emerges a couple of hours after an eccentric activity, especially in individuals who ar...

QUESTION Does a specific exercise program improve shoulder function more than non-specific exercises in patients with subacromial impingement? DESIGN Randomised, controlled trial with concealed allocation and blinded outcome assessment. SETTING University hospital in Sweden. PARTICIPANTS Patients aged 30 to 65 years with subacromial impingement syndrome of at least 6 months duration, and ...
