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.
Onset is gradual over weeks to months. [2] Complications can include fracture of the humerus or biceps tendon rupture. [2] The cause in most cases is unknown. [1] The condition can also occur after injury or surgery to the shoulder. [2] Risk factors include diabetes and thyroid disease. [1] [4] [5] The underlying mechanism involves inflammation ...
Once reserved for athletes, eccentric exercise is becoming increasingly popular in everyday training and physical therapy—especially for people with musculoskeletal conditions like Parkinson’s ...
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]
Biceps Curl. 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 ...
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.
BICEPS CURLS ARE a top-tier muscleman exercise. Step foot into any self-respecting gym, head to the free weight floor, and watch for just a few minutes. Inevitably, someone will grab a set of ...
