    Eccentric exercise examples. These simple moves, outlined by Domi and Julom, can help you get started with eccentric exercise. If you’re concerned about doing them safely, Domi recommends ...

  3. Eccentric training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_training

    This movement has also been described as negative training. This "negative" movement is necessary to reverse the muscle from its initial trajectory. [1]When the load exceeds the force that can be developed by the muscle at a constant length, as in an eccentric muscle action, the exercise is referred to as involving negative work, because the muscle is absorbing energy.

    For example, in a bench press set-up the barbell can be held in a fixed position and neither pushed upwards nor allowed to descend. Alternatively, in a mid-thigh pull set-up, a person can attempt to pull a fixed, immovable bar upwards. Example of an unweighted overcoming isometric exercise

  5. Isoinertial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoinertial

    The isoinertial's muscle activity follows the muscular action of the sporting gesture or rather what the body or parts of it are in duty to perform in sports, according to which, in strength and speed variable, an inertial load (such as a ball), a limb or the body itself (such as when accelerating or changing direction) the athlete is forced to respond at the level coordinative motor and ...

  6. Isotonic contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotonic_contraction

    There are two types of isotonic contractions: (1) concentric and (2) eccentric. In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance, then remains the same as the muscle shortens. In eccentric, the muscle lengthens due to the resistance being greater than the force the muscle is producing. [citation needed]

    The speed of the switching is extremely fast, 0.20 seconds or less. For example, high-level sprinters execute the switch from the eccentric contraction that occurs when the foot hits the ground to the concentric contraction when the foot breaks contact with the ground in less than 0.10 seconds.

  8. Sports periodization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_periodization

    The roots of periodization come from Hans Selye's model, known as the General adaptation syndrome (GAS). The GAS describes three basic stages of response to stress: (a) the Alarm stage, involving the initial shock of the stimulus on the system, (b) the Resistance stage, involving the adaptation to the stimulus by the system, and (c) the Exhaustion stage, in that repairs are inadequate, and a ...
