After each eccentric contraction, the lever arm of the isokinetic dynamometer passively returned the elbow joint to the starting position. They found that those who performed the exercise two days a ...

Eccentric exercise training, which focuses on muscle lengthening under tension, is emerging as a promising intervention to counteract the physiological declines associated with ageing. This modality ...

Eccentric-only resistance training at long muscle lengths and with a long contraction duration can chronically decrease the passive stiffness of a specific muscle while simultaneously increasing its ...
