Eccentric ergometry : increases in locomotor muscle size and strength at low training intensities

Eccentric ergometry : increases in locomotor muscle size and strength at low training intensities

Lengthening (eccentric) muscle contractions are characterized by several unusual properties that may result in unique skeletal muscle adaptations. This study assesses the structural and functional changes that occur to normal locomotor muscle after chronic eccentric ergometry at training intensities...

Zusammenfassung:Lengthening (eccentric) muscle contractions are characterized by several unusual properties that may result in unique skeletal muscle adaptations. This study assesses the structural and functional changes that occur to normal locomotor muscle after chronic eccentric ergometry at training intensities, measured as oxygen uptake, that do not influence the muscle when exercised concentrically.
