Q

what are some of the positives to using eccentric exercise (efficiency)

A

muscle and tendon contribute to force production
force 2-3x that of concentric
greater increase in neural and morphological adaptations
greater muscle flexibility
lower metabolic demand
fewer motor units recruited = greater force per active motor unit

Q

with acute bout of eccentrics we see:

A

damage to muscle cell leading to myofibre necrosis and inflammation & impaired muscle performance after because of DOMS

Q

describe the EIMD response

A

immediate structural damage & inflammation (6-12 hours pain starts peaks at 48-72 hours) gone 5-7 days later
creates favorable adaptive change

Q

Repeated bout effect

A

change in optimal sarcomere length
protective adaption
increased muscle spring stiffness that creates more resistance to strain

Q

how will eccentric training effect the length tension curve

A

shift it to the right which will allow the muscle fibres to operate at longer lengths with increased stability
peak tension will occur at longer length

Q

what are some clinical applications of eccentrics

A

rehab & injury prevention
tendinopathy
- facilitates optimal adaptations in tendon
- isometric & heavy slow resistance training
athletic performance increase
elderly pop
- lower metabolic cost
