Biceps femoris and semitendinosus: teammates or competitors? : new insights into hamstring injury mechanisms in male football players : a muscle functional MRI study [PDF]
Background: The hamstring injury mechanism was assessed by investigating the exercise-related metabolic activity characteristics of the hamstring muscles using a muscle functional MRI (mfMRI) protocol.

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

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