    Eccentric, concentric, and isometric phases are all distinct parts of most exercises you do in your workouts. Here's what they mean and how to use them. Eccentric, concentric, and isometric phases ...

  3. Isometric exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_exercise

    An isometric exercise is an exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint. The term "isometric" combines the Greek words isos (equal) and -metria (measuring), meaning that in these exercises the length of the muscle and the angle of the joint do not change, though contraction ...

    The main difference is that eccentric puts more controlled stress on the muscle, he adds, which can lead to more strength gains and better flexibility over time. Concentric is usually easier but ...

  5. Eccentric training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_training

    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. An eccentric contraction is the motion of an active muscle while it is lengthening under load ...

  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 rest period is defined as the time dedicated to recovery between sets and exercises. Exercise causes metabolic stress, such as the buildup of lactic acid and the depletion of adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine. [24] Resting 3–5 minutes between sets allows for significantly greater repetitions in the next set versus resting 1–2 ...

    The magnitude of the effect is subject to many variations, depending for instance on the time between bouts, the number and length of eccentric contractions, and the exercise mode. It also varies between people and between indicators of muscle damage. [2]: 69 Generally, though, the protective effect lasts for at least several weeks. It seems to ...
