Effects of Eccentric Exercise on Work-Related Performance and Physical Activity Levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

open access: yesPhysical Activity and Health, 2023
Background: There is a high prevalence of work productivity loss among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with a seeming link between loss of work productivity and RA disease activity.

Clinical effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy as an adjunct treatment to eccentric exercise for Achilles tendinopathy: a randomised controlled trial

open access: yesTrials, 2023
Background The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body. Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common clinical problem with Achilles overuse. Eccentric exercise is often used as an initial treatment for these patients.

Eccentric Exercise for Achilles Tendinopathy: A Narrative Review and Clinical Decision-Making Considerations

open access: yesJournal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2019
Background: Achilles tendinopathy is a common health condition encountered in the orthopedic and sports medicine settings. Eccentric exercise is a common intervention in the management of pain and limited function for this patient population, although ...

Concentric and Eccentric: Muscle Contraction or Exercise? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2013
Dear Editor-in-chief This inclusion considers the use and possible misuse of the terms ''Concentric and Eccentric'' in three possible contexts: first, the origin of terms; second, different approaches; and third, the possible uses. To the best of our knowledge, twenty- six articles [i.e.(Barstow et al., 2002)] have been published in Journal of ...

Eccentric exercise slows in vivo microvascular reactivity during brief contractions in human skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Unaccustomed exercise involving eccentric contractions results in muscle soreness and an overall decline in muscle function, however, little is known about the effects of eccentric exercise on microvascular reactivity in human skeletal muscle.

Breathing patterns during eccentric exercise

open access: yesRespiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2014
Eccentric (ECC) work is interesting for rehabilitation purposes because it is more efficient than concentric (CON). This study assessed respiratory patterns and electromyographic activity (EMG) during ECC and CON cycling, both at similar power outputs and VO2 in eight healthy male subjects.

Eccentric exercise in the prevention of patellofemoral pain in high-volume runners: A rationale for integration

open access: yesSports Medicine and Health Science, 2021
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common overuse condition seen in high-volume runners, such as military recruits. Exercise is commonly prescribed, with benefit, for the rehabilitation of individuals with PFP.

Muscle fiber conduction velocity is more affected after eccentric than concentric exercise

open access: yes, 2011
It has been shown that mean muscle fiber conduction velocity (CV) can be acutely impaired after eccentric exercise. However, it is not known whether this applies to other exercise modes.
