The mechanism of injury for a distal tendon rupture is forced contraction under eccentric load. [1] [9] A few examples of forced contraction under eccentric load include mixed-grip deadlifts (one forearm pronated and the other supinated, putting the biceps under greater load), preacher curls, and the "kingsmove" technique in armwrestling.
[2]: 73 Also, the repeated-bout effect appears even after a relatively small number of contractions, possibly as few as two. In one study, a first bout of 10, 20 or 50 contractions provided equal protection for a second bout of 50 contractions three weeks later. [2]: 70 The reason for the protective effect is not yet understood.
Eccentric contraction of muscles can result in ER more often than concentric contraction. [4] Dehydration is one of the biggest factors that can give almost immediate feedback from the body by producing very dark-colored urine. [5]
“For example, the lowering down phase of a bicep curl could be considered eccentric movement,” adds Landon Uetz, P.T., D.P.T., and pickleball instructor on TeachMe. “The bicep is still ...
Yes, the contraction of the biceps curl and the squeeze at the top of the movement are important for muscle building, but don't underestimate the value of controlling the weight as you lower it ...
A fitness expert explains the proper way to cheat on your biceps curls, how to do it correctly, and tips and tricks to watch out for when doing the cheat curl.
The condition is more common in women than in men (70% of patients are women aged 40–60). People with diabetes, stroke, lung disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or heart disease are at a higher risk for frozen shoulder. Symptoms in people with diabetes may be more protracted than in the non-diabetic population. [31]
A SLAP tear or SLAP lesion is an injury to the superior glenoid labrum (fibrocartilaginous rim attached around the margin of the glenoid cavity in the shoulder blade) that initiates in the back of the labrum and stretches toward the front into the attachment point of the long head of the biceps tendon.
