Excentric Training

Eccentric training focuses on lengthening a muscle under tension, which occurs during the lowering phase of an exercise, like slowly lowering a weight in a bicep curl. This type of training emphasizes controlled, slow movements to maximize muscle stress, promote strength gains, and improve muscle resilience. It’s often used in rehabilitation and athletic training because it enhances muscular control and can help prevent injuries. Eccentric training can be more demanding on muscles compared to concentric (lifting) phases, making it an effective way to build strength and muscular endurance when incorporated properly into a workout routine.
