Take the humble squat, for example. You lower into the squat, pause at the bottom, then drive upward to stand; these three ...

The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of three different types of isotonic training programme, viz. eccentric, concentric and combination of both on strength of selected body segments, ...

Main outcome measurements Concentric, eccentric and isometric knee flexor strengths were measured before and after the training periods using the Biodex dynamometer. Concentric and eccentric peak ...

This movement can be a concentric ... Right: Eccentric contraction - the biceps are contracting eccentrically to lower the weights against resistance Isometric contraction – this involves ...

In weight training, 'tempo' means the speed of lifting (concentric phase), lowering (eccentric phase) and pauses in between (isometric phases ... 3110 tempo as an example: The first number ...

An eccentric contraction provides the control of a movement on the downward phase and it works to resist the force of gravity. Figure caption, Left: Concentric contraction - the biceps are ...
