Dance as an Eccentric Form of Exercise: Practical Implications
(2012)The eccentric action is an integral part of the stretch-shortening (or eccentric-concentric) cycle of muscle movement, especially when repositioning of the centre of gravity is required. Jumps and landing tasks are examples ... -
The effects of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage on running kinematics at different speeds
(2013)This study investigated the effects of knee localised muscle damage on running kinematics at varying speeds. Nineteen young women (23.2 +/- 2.8 years; 164 +/- 8cm; 53.6 +/- 5.4kg), performed a maximal eccentric muscle ... -
Neuromuscular differences between prepubescents boys and adult men during drop jump
(2010)The purpose of the present study was to determine the lower extremities biomechanical differences between prepubescent and adult males during drop jumps (DJs). Twenty-four untrained males (12 prepubescents, 12 adults) ...
