Eccentric Muscle Contraction: A type of muscle contraction in which, despite activation of motor units and the production of force, the external resistance forces the muscle to lengthen. This occurs ...

The findings showed no significant difference between eccentric and concentric muscle actions in promoting hypertrophy. The review suggests that eccentric and concentric muscle actions produce similar ...

Eccentric exercise training, which focuses on muscle lengthening under tension, is emerging as a promising intervention to counteract the physiological declines associated with ageing. This modality ...
