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.
Tears of the biceps brachii may occur during athletic activities, however avulsion injuries of the distal biceps tendon are frequently occupational in nature and sustained during forceful, eccentric contraction of the biceps muscle while lifting. [20] Treatment of a biceps tear depends on the severity of the injury.
“For example, the lowering down phase of a bicep curl could be considered eccentric movement,” adds Landon Uetz, ... increased tendon strength and injury prevention, greater weight tolerance ...
Biceps femoris tendon rupture can occur when the biceps femoris is injured in sports that require explosive bending of the knee as seen in sprinting.If the athlete is fatigued or has not warmed up properly he/she may suffer a hamstring strain/rupture, which is the tearing of the hamstring muscle.
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 ...
Eccentric training is a type of strength training that involves using the target muscles to control weight as it moves in a downward motion. This type of training can help build muscle, improve athletic performance, and reduce the risk of injury.
The anchor and leader of the offensive line — which just so happens to be the Panthers’ best unit at the moment — left the game with a biceps injury in the second half. His designation was ...
