Effect of isokinetic resistance training on ulnar stiffness in young, college-aged women
… was to determine if high intensity strength training will increase ulnar bending stiffness in young women. Forty-nine women aged 19.9 ± 1.7 yrs, trained their nondominant arm either concentrically or eccentrically in the Isokinetic modality on the Biodex® system III 3d/wk for 32 wks. The …

Effects of Eccentric Contraction Duration on Muscle Strength, Power Production, Vertical Jump and Soreness
… research has investigated the effects of either eccentric-only training or comparing eccentric and concentric exercise on changes related to strength and power expression, but no research to date has investigated the impact of altering the duration of either the concentric or eccentric component …

The effect of Fast Eccentric Squats on measures of strength, power and speed
… study is to investigate the effect of increased eccentric movement velocity during a submaximal back squat on measures of strength, power and speed as well as examine the effect of recovery following eccentric training had on the performance. Eleven participants were randomly placed into a …

A randomised control trial for the restoration of functional ability in patients post total knee arthroplasty: Eccentric versus concentric cycling ergometry
… was to determine the effects of an eight-week eccentric cycling ergometry exercise intervention versus a concentric cycling ergometry exercise intervention in total knee arthroplasty recipients three to nine months post-surgery. This study aimed to a) investigate the change in joint kinetics, …

Eccentric cycling rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomised controlled trial of strength and biomechanical outcomes
… deviations remain. Reducing these by training may reduce risk of re-injury or osteoarthritis for these patients. A cross-sectional study investigated biomechanics of ACL-R male patients long-term (~5 years) post surgery. Fifteen ACL-R and fifteen healthy controls were tested in walking …

A randomised control trial for the restoration of functional ability in patients post total knee arthroplasty: a comparison of eccentric versus concentric cycling ergometry
… muscle strength. It has been suggested that eccentric rehabilitation may be more beneficial than traditional concentric only rehabilitation at improving muscle strength, physical functioning and quality of life in this population. The aim of this study was therefore to determine if an …

Concussion, neck, and hamstring injury aetiology and injury prevention in Rugby Union
… players. Specifically, isometric neck and Nordic eccentric hamstring strength values are examined in a large cohort of male and female semi-professional and professional Rugby Union players. Finally, the fourth section involves a randomised-controlled trial with a control group that examined the …

Development and application of an eccentric force-velocity profile in rugby union athletes
Resistance training has long been utilised as a strategy for improving sport performance in competitive athletes dating back to early civilizations. In modern times, much emphasis has been placed on better understanding the application of specific training methods to optimise performance at the …

Bilateral and unilateral resistance training and athletic performance
… optimal transfer of physiological adaptation of training to improved athletic performance. In resistance training, it has long been identified that the closer the mechanical specificity between the training exercise and outcome performance, the greater the transfer of improved capacity. Bilateral …

An Evaluation of the Effects of Whole Body Cryotherapy Treatment for Sports Recovery and Performance
… following downhill running, a commonly utilised eccentric exercise model for inducing muscle damage. WBC participants underwent cryotherapy (3 minutes, −120°C) one hour post-downhill run and control (CON) participants passively recovered (20°C). Despite the presence of EIMD, WBC significantly …
