Overview

Systematic review and meta-analysis reveal eccentric training improves maximal voluntary eccentric strength, suggesting distinct benefits for training methods.

Key Points

  • Greater effects on maximal voluntary eccentric contraction strength were found after eccentric-only compared to concentric-only training.
  • No significant differences were evident between training modalities for improving maximal voluntary concentric and isometric contraction strength.
  • Meta-regressions indicated that longer training periods enhance the benefits of eccentric-only training on maximal voluntary eccentric strength.
  • Subgroup analyses highlighted that higher velocity eccentric training led to smaller effects on maximal voluntary concentric strength.
