[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 training is repetitively doing eccentric muscle contractions. For example, in a biceps curl the action of lowering the dumbbell back down from the lift is the eccentric phase of that exercise – as long as the dumbbell is lowered slowly rather than letting it drop (i.e., the biceps are in a state of contraction to control the rate of ...
During an eccentric contraction, the myofilaments slide past each other the opposite way, though the actual movement of the myosin heads during an eccentric contraction is not known. Exercise featuring a heavy eccentric load can actually support a greater weight (muscles are approximately 40% stronger during eccentric contractions than during ...
The three-element Hill muscle model is a representation of the muscle mechanical response. The model is constituted by a contractile element ( CE ) and two non-linear spring elements , one in series ( SE ) and another in parallel ( PE ).
Delayed onset muscle soreness is pain or discomfort that may be felt one to three days after exercising and generally subsides two to three days later. Once thought to be caused by lactic acid build-up, a more recent theory is that it is caused by tiny tears in the muscle fibers caused by eccentric contraction, or unaccustomed training levels ...
Muscle soreness may refer to: Acute muscle soreness (AMS), which appears during or immediately after exercise and lasts up to 24 hours.

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]
