Eccentric Overload Training

Eccentric Overload Training focuses on the eccentric phase of muscle movements, which is when muscles lengthen while under tension, such as when lowering a weight. This approach involves using heavier weights during the eccentric phase than what can typically be lifted concentrically (the upward phase). The idea is to enhance strength and muscle growth by pushing muscles to adapt to greater stresses. This training method can improve performance in various athletic activities and is beneficial for rehabilitation by promoting muscle control and reducing injury risk.
