    What is Eccentric Overload Training?
    This involves truly overloading the eccentric (lengthening) portion of the repetition.
    How to do eccentric training?
    Examples of eccentric overload exercises include nordic hamstring curls, flywheel machine training, performing concentric with 2 legs and eccentric with one leg, etc.
    Is eccentric training good for athletes?
    It can be good for athletes in certain phases of training. Athletes however often should perform concentric and power exercises during the preseason and in season when power is most important.
    Why do eccentric training?
    This can be an effective method for building muscle and eccentric strength which could improve deceleration mechanics, hypertrophy, etc.
    Note: During the learning phase, we often want increased consistency. (Ex: Learning hurdles)

    Not everything is concentric in sports. Change of directions and decceleration, even running (heel touching the ground after contact) has an eccentric overload component. Some says sports have very little concentric components as most movement involve the stretch shortening cycle. Movements where contact times are very low dont have much concentric involvement from the muscle as it takes the muscle too much time to produce force (as keir from rugby strenght coach says: tendon is king)

    Great video. Hasn’t considered that only eccentric training would improve mostly eccentric movements and less around concentric. Makes obvious sense but good to cater the workouts to goals depending on what you need as an athlete

    I've been thinking alot about this and how most sports (Еspecially combat sports), rely almost entirely on concentric and quasi-isometric contractions. Punching(concentric)blocking(Iso)..or take down (concentric) into choke(Iso). So it appears that based on the SAID principle, that eccentric overload wouldn't be very beneficial. However, Gordon Ryan who is the jiu jitsu GOAT uses body building type training for strength which I thought was weird. But let's say an athlete uses such excercises in a way that is very dissimilar to punches or takedowns, to just help balance out the strength of the tissues involved and "armor build" without creating dysfunctional movement patterns by keeping the general physical preparation training, completely seperate from the plyo, explosive, sports specific training the athlete.does. I think the eccentrics will just fill in the gaps of human function and prevent injuries rather than improve actual force production. Any thoughts?

    Its known that eccentric only 1RM basically represents total potential strenght for the muscle (not necesarily achieved) but thar concentric only 1RM is the actual metric for available strenght. They can be close together or far apart, if close together thats a good indication a hypertrophy cycle (or eccentric overload cycle) might be a good idea
    Basically eccentric is a good proxy for muscle mass and this does correlate with potential strenght gains but its a shit metric for actual strenght.

    Hi. What was the takeaway for eccentric training? Good for hypertrophic development and braking contractions? I get the specificity principles but - say for example in MMA - what would you use eccentric phase of pull-ups for? What sports would favour eccentric hamstring curls/pull up phase over concentric? Thanks for help. Appreciate its not easy to contain the science to a short answer. I’ve used eccentrics for gastrocnemius in recovery routinesâ€Ķ

    • @TheMovementSystem
      @TheMovementSystem  3 āļ›āļĩāļ—āļĩāđˆāđāļĨāđ‰āļ§ +4

      Takeaway is that eccentrics work well in many cases such as hamstring strength for runners/ sprinters, hypertrophy work, and certain rehab applications such as loading the gastroc/ Achilles. But don’t overdo it and use them for everything. There’s still a place for power/ concentric movements especially for field sport athletes
