THE IMPORTANCE OF CONCENTRIC/ECCENTIC WORK

Isoinertial method goes beyond the traditional training systems introducing the value of speed next to the strength notion. The exploitation of concentric eccentric phases improves the muscle activation while decreasing the muscle stress and combines the expressed power with speed and motion. The result is a training system able to prevent injuries, increase power and accelerate recovery.

Several sector studies on elite athletes and scientific papers validate the enhancing effects of eccentric workouts. In sport they reproduce the effort of the athletic gestures, in rehab they avoid muscular unbalance accelerating recovery, while in fitness they grant a balanced and high intensity workout.

MORE FORCE THAN OTHER WORKING METHOD

Eccentric work can generate a plus in terms of force of 30-40%, compared to isometric contraction, which is 10-15% higher than the concentric one.

BENEFITS IN REHAB

Eccentric training is effective in post injury rehab sessions for anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) and in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy and Achilles tendon.

A PLUS IN PERFORMANCE PREVENTING INJURIES

In soccer the addition of a specific preseason strengthen training for the hamstring, including eccentric workout, can help elite player to improve performance and prevent injuries.
