Abstract

Eccentric actions are thought to be particularly important to increase muscle strength and size but are often performed at submaximal intensities during traditional resistance training. The aim of the present study was to compare neuromuscular adaptations from eccentric-overload resistance training (EO) to traditional resistance training (TRT).
