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 ...
No adverse effects of statins on muscle function and health-related parameters in the elderly: An exercise study
(2013)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a repeated bout of eccentric exercise on health-related parameters and muscle performance on subjects undergoing atorvastatin therapy. Twenty-eight elderly men ...
Equal volumes of high and low intensity of eccentric exercise in relation to muscle damage and performance
(2005)
We examined differences in muscle damage and muscle performance perturbations in relation to the same volumes of high (HI) and low intensity (LI) of eccentric exercise. Untrained young healthy men (n = 12) underwent 2 ...
Favorable and prolonged changes in blood lipid profile after muscle-damaging exercise
(2008)
Purpose: To examine the effect of repeated muscle-damaging exercise on the time-course changes in blood lipid and lipoprotein profile and compare them with changes in indices of muscle function and damage. Methods: Twelve ...
Decreased blood oxidative stress after repeated muscle-damaging exercise
(2007)
Purpose: To examine the effect of repeated muscle-damaging exercise on the time-course changes in several indices of muscle damage, and to compare them with changes in blood oxidative stress indices. Methods: Twelve females ...
Short vs. long length of rectus femoris during eccentric exercise in relation to muscle damage in healthy males
(2005)
Background. We investigated the effects of short vs. long length of rectus femoris during eccentric exercise of similar range of motion on selected muscle damage indicators. Methods. Using all isokinetic dynamometer at ...
Eccentric exercise affects the upper limbs more than the lower limbs in position sense and reaction angle
(2010)
In this study, we investigated the effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and reaction angle of the elbow and knee flexors. Twelve males underwent two eccentric exercise sessions involving a randomized crossover ...
PLYOMETRIC EXERCISE INCREASES SERUM INDICES OF MUSCLE DAMAGE AND COLLAGEN BREAKDOWN
(2008)
The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of acute plyometric exercise on indices of muscle damage and collagen breakdown. Nine untrained men performed an intense bout of plyometric jumping exercises (experimental ...
