Chronic Adaptations to Eccentric Training: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Eccentric training is a potent stimulus for enhancements in muscle mechanical function, and muscle-tendon unit (MTU) morphological and architectural adaptations. The inclusion of eccentric loads not constrained by concentric strength appears to be superior to traditional resistance training in improving variables associated with strength, power and speed performance.

“…This may be due to the effect of the progressive overload protocol, and the long interval between contractions (10 s) and between sets (3 min) seems to contribute to it. Generally speaking, eccentric 1RM is greater than concentric 1RM (Hortobágyi et al, 1996; Ploutz-Snyder et al, 2001; Roig et al, 2009; Nogueira et al, 2013; Douglas et al, 2016). Thus it is possible to increase the intensity further for the eccentric exercise training, and to impose greater stimulus to the muscles by increasing the intensity and volume (e.g., number of sets).…”

“…For example, Franchi et al (2015) reported that increases in maximal isometric strength and muscle mass, and muscle protein synthesis rate were similar between 4-week of eccentric and concentric training of the unilateral knee extensors when the relative intensity was matched (80% of 1RM eccentric and 80% of 1RM concentric, respectively). Thus, the superiority of eccentric to concentric exercise training is still controversial, but a recent review paper by Douglas et al (2016) has concluded that eccentric resistance training is effective for improving muscle function to a greater extent than other modalities. It might be that eccentric exercise training does not require high-intensity contractions to induce such training effects, since relatively low-intensity eccentric contractions in eccentric cycling result in large muscle hypertrophy in elderly individuals (LaStayo et al, 2003, 2014).…”

“…Perhaps, a significant difference between the two training modes lies in the contraction-specific regional hypertrophy that has been previously observed (Seger et al, 1998; Franchi et al, 2014; Douglas et al, 2016), where greater eccentric-associated distal growth is juxtaposed to a more pronounced mid-belly hypertrophy after concentric training.…”

“…Nevertheless, referring to the studies that compared ECC and traditional trainings, ECC training is more or at least as effective as traditional training at reducing FM. Although the mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy, such as the increases in protein synthesis or in the recruitment of satellite cells, have been well studied, the physiological and metabolic mechanisms that could reduce adiposity, such as modifications in postexercise resting energy expenditure and metabolic profile, need more investigation . It has been argued that acute and chronic ECC exercise induces a greater increase in postexercise resting energy expenditure, compared with CON exercise performed at the same mechanical power, related to the ECC‐induced elevation protein turnover (ie, an increase in both muscle protein degradation and synthesis) .…”
