| Aloha and Welcome to Week 3 of Fitness-Tip Friday! |
| Tip of the Week:Training using high-intensity ECCENTRIC contractions (aka “negatives”, where the weight is moving in the opposite direction of the force you’re applying) has been shown to elicit greater improvements in muscle size, strength, power, and speed than standard CONCENTRIC contractions of the same intensity.Be sure to include eccentric training in your routines!! Relevant research articles: 1) The effects of eccentric versus concentric resistance training on muscle strength and mass in healthy adults: a systematic review with meta-analysis 2) Chronic Adaptations to Eccentric Training: A Systematic Review |
