Neuromuscular Adaptations to Work-matched Maximal Eccentric versus Concentric Training

Abstract: It is unclear whether the superiority of eccentric over concentric training on neuromuscular improvements is due to higher torque (mechanical loading) achievable during eccentric contractions or due to resulting greater total work.PurposeThis study aimed to examine neuromuscular adaptations after maximal eccentric versus concentric training matched for total work.MethodsTwelve males conducted single-joint isokinetic (180°·s−1) maximal eccentric contractions of the knee extensors in one leg (ECC-leg) and concen… Show more

“…After training one leg, the equivalent volume of work per set was performed by the contralateral leg with the assigned contraction mode (ie, the number of repetitions was manipulated each set). This made it necessary for CON‐leg to perform more repetitions than ECC‐leg to match the total work (results detailed in our previous study) . The preceding leg was counterbalanced in the first training session among participants, and it was switched every session for each participant.…”

“…EMG was recorded using a wireless EMG system (Trigno; Delsys, Boston, USA). Following skin preparation, surface EMG electrodes were placed over the belly of RF, vastus lateralis (VL), and vastus medialis (VM) at 50% (RF, VL) and 80% (VM) of the thigh length (distance between the greater trochanter and lateral femoral condyle) and parallel to the presumed orientation of the muscle fibers . EMG signals were amplified (×300) and bandpass‐filtered (20‐ to 450‐Hz) at source and sampled at 2000 Hz via the same A/D converter and computer software as for the torque signal.…”
