Objective. The effect of unilateral exercises on the untrained limb, usually called "cross-education," can help treat immobility. Review studies in 2017 have shown that type of contraction, volume, and intensity of training are effective on the rate of cross-education. Therefore, this review study aimed at the kind of contraction and the volume of training on crossed education. Methods. In this review, we searched PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from 2017 to December 2022. We used the keywords ("cross-education" OR "cross-transfer" OR "cross-training" OR "interlimb transfer" OR "strength transfer") AND ("unilateral strength training" OR "contralateral strength training" OR "resistance training" OR "strength training"). Results. Of the 391 studies, 22 articles were selected for final evaluation. Out of 22 studies, five studies compared the effect of eccentric and concentric contractions. Six studies examined the effect of mixed exercise. Four studies examined the effect of coupled eccentric/concentric contractions, one study examined the effect of only eccentric exercises, two studies investigated the effect of concentric contraction on cross-education, three studies examined the effect of only isometric contraction, and two studies evaluated the effects of isokinetic contraction on cross-education. The results of these studies showed that coupled contractions have a more significant effect on cross-education (8.6%-69%). Isokinetic contraction had the most negligible effect on the cross-education. The evaluation of BURST has shown more significant cross-education than the evaluation of the contralateral side. Conclusions. Combined effect of concentric and eccentric contractions could cause the most cross-education effect, as much as 8.6%-69%. BURST evaluation showed more significant effects on cross-education than contralateral limb evaluation.
