ECCENTRIC TRAINING
➤Eccentric > standard resistance for
hypertrophy
➤6% vs. 3% improvements
MORE STRENGTH
ECCENTRIC TRAINING
➤ Eccentric training improves concentric strength & high speed
performance as a result of increases in fiber and cross-sectional area
➤ Neural factors also play a huge role
MORE
POWER
ECCENTRIC TRAINING
➤Greater strength increases were
observed as a result of the
eccentric training modalities
➤Eccentric training + “overspeed”
more effective than traditional
resistance training for peak power
in CM jump
➤Eccentric training alone not
beneficial for maximal running
speed

➤Eccentric training alone not

➤Do ‘overspeed’ in addition to
eccentric emphasis
MORE EFFICIENT
FORCE PRODUCTION
DURING MUSCLE
LENGTHENING IS DRIVEN
ONLY PARTLY BY CHEMICAL
ENERGY BEING CONVERTED INTO
KINETIC ENERGY INSIDE
THE SARCOMERES. IT IS ALSO
PARTLY SUPPORTED BY THE
PASSIVE ELEMENTS, WHICH
REQUIRE LITTLE OR NO
CHEMICAL ENERGY IN ORDER TO
FUNCTION

ROLE OF ECCENTRIC
CAPACITY
Eccentrics do this
➤ Joint stability
➤ Power transfer
➤ Movement efficiency
➤ Deceleration
An athlete’s capacity to [resist]
yielding is a key determinant to
athletic success in general & speed
& explosiveness in particular
Benefits of
Eccentric Strength
Low metabolic cost
High capacity to generate intramuscular
tension
High solicitation of Type II fibers
Helps protect musculoskeletal system
Changes stress-strain curve
SHORTCOMINGS OF
TRADITIONAL METHODS
BENEFITS OF TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
➤ Simple & easy
➤ No special equipment
➤ Familiar
➤ Load as a correlate for
intensity works great at near-
maximal loads
➤ Excellent for developing
maximal concentric strength
➤ Load on the bar is being used as a
correlate for force output
➤ Constrained by concentric emphasis
Drawbacks of Traditional Methodology
DRAWBACKS OF TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
➤ Explosive efforts are often
mistakenly assumed to
provide an eccentric overload
➤ Explosive actions do not
necessarily mean eccentric
qualities are optimally trained
➤ Many ‘plyometric’ exercises
actually FOCUS on concentric
actions
ECCENTRIC
TRAINING?
BASIC
CONSIDERATIONS
HYPERTROPHY?
BUT WHAT
ABOUT
DOMS?
When an athlete experiences a
novel or excessive eccentric
training load it kick starts an
inflammatory response
The Athlete Experiences:
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
Stiffness
Decrease in Strength
Increase Passive Tone
Presence of Blood Markers (CK, LHD)
ECCENTRIC TRAINING
IS THE BEST INOCULATION
FROM DOMS

need to train submaximal

to enhance relative and absolute RFD”
WHO SHOULD USE ADVANCED
ECCENTRIC TRAINING?
➤ DO YOU WANT TO IMPROVE
MUSCLE SIZE?
➤ DO YOU NEED MORE MAX
STRENGTH?
➤ DO YOU NEED TO REDUCE
INJURY RISK?
➤ DO YOU WANT TO WANT TO
IMPROVE ABSORBUTION OF
KINETIC ENERGY?
➤ DO YOU WANT TO IMPROVE
CHANGE OF DIRECTION?
ACCENTUATED ECCENTRIC OVERLOAD
110-120% CONCENTRIC MAXIMAL LOAD.
SUPRAMAXIMAL ECCENTRIC FLYWHEEL SQUAT
SHOCK
LOADING
Shock loading requires the rapid deceleration of load and can
be performed with specific plyometrics or in resistance training

Concentric Loading Maximum concentric strength
Submaximal
Isometric
Volitional pauses and quasi-isometric
contractions
Eccentric
Controlled speed at loads <100% of concentric
maximum
Maximal Isometric
Maximal contraction against immovable object
for 4-6 seconds
Accentuated
Eccentric
High speed eccentric at loads <100% of
concentric maximum
Shock
Loading
High speed and high load
contraction with rapid deceleration
Take Home Points
A. The importance of eccentric force
generating capacity can not be overstated
B. Traditional strength methods aren’t
sufficient
C. Use the appropriate means & methods for
your objective
D. Max Strength —> Sub Max Iso —> Sub Max Ecc
—> Max Iso —> Max Ecc —> Shock Loading
