Muscle transcriptome adaptations with mild eccentric ergometer exercise [PDF]

, 2018
The muscle has a wide range of possibilities to adapt its phenotype. Repetitive submaximal concentric exercise (i.e., shortening contractions) mainly leads to adaptations of muscle oxidative metabolism and endurance while eccentric exercise (i.e ...

Barbell back squat:How do resistance bands affect muscle activation and knee kinematics? [PDF]

, 2020
ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine whether looped resistance bands affect knee kinematics and lower body muscle activation during the barbell back squat.MethodsTwenty-six healthy participants (13 female, 13 male) calculated their one repetition ...

Biomechanical evaluation of the push-up exercise of the upper extremities from various starting points [PDF]

, 2012
The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the push-up exercise of the upper extremities in respect of biomechanics, to compare the muscle function, while changing the position of performance and to examine the torso's inclination during the ...

Eccentric Muscle Contractions: Risks and Benefits

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Eccentric contractions, characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex, present several unique features compared with other types of contractions, which may lead to unique adaptations.

Early Rehabilitation with Weight-bearing Standing-shaking-board Exercise in Combination with Electrical Muscle Stimulation after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]

, 2012
The objective of early rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is to increase the muscle strength of the lower extremities. Closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercise induces co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles. The

Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage Is Independent of Limb Dominance in Young Women

Applied Sciences
Unaccustomed eccentric exercise is well established to induce exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), characterized by transient strength loss, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), reduced range of motion, and proprioceptive disturbances.

The Cardiovascular Response to Interval Exercise Is Modified by the Contraction Type and Training in Proportion to Metabolic Stress of Recruited Muscle Groups

Sensors, 2020
Background: Conventional forms of endurance training based on shortening contractions improve aerobic capacity but elicit a detriment of muscle strength.

Exercise-induced muscle damage is reduced in resistance-trained males by branched chain amino acids: a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study [PDF]

, 2012
Background: It is well documented that exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) decreases muscle function and causes soreness and discomfort. Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation has been shown to increase protein synthesis and decrease muscle ...

Response of Coagulation Indices to Two Types of Exercise of Eccentric and Isometric in Male Bodybuilding Athletes

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Qum, 2016
Background and Objectives: Although activation of blood coagulation system in response to physical activity has been identified to some extent, but the contribution of eccentric activity in comparison with isometric activity as resistance exercise, is ...
