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.

Dance as an Eccentric Form of Exercise: Practical Implications
Medical Problems of Performing Artists, 2012 The eccentric action is an integral part of the stretch-shortening (or eccentric-concentric) cycle of muscle movement, especially when repositioning of the centre of gravity is required. Jumps and landing tasks are examples of this cycle and are incorporated in most dance activities.

Influence of acute eccentric exercise on the H:Q ratio
, 2011 The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of an acute bout of eccentric exercise on maximal isokinetic concentric peak torque (PT) of the leg flexors and extensors and the hamstrings-to-quadriceps (H:Q) strength ratio.

Post-eccentric exercise blunted hGH response
, 2010 The purpose of the present study was to test if a previous acute concentric exercise bout blunts hGH response after an eccentric exercise bout. Nine healthy untrained male university students (25.4 +/- 0.5 yr, 176.5 +/- 1.2 cm, and 79.4 +/- 2.0 kg ...

Changes in inflammatory mediators following eccentric exercise of the elbow flexors
, 2004 The aims of this study were to examine the plasma concentrations of inflammatory mediators including cytokines induced by a single bout of eccentric exercise and again 4 weeks later by a second bout of eccentric exercise of the same muscle group.
