The effect of eccentric exercise on knee extensor torque fluctuations
23 October 2015
Eccentric exercise often results in greater soreness and more prolonged functional impairment than isometric or concentric exercise. The aim of this study is compare the effects of eccentric and isometric exercise on fatigue and the torque fluctuations generated during subsequent isometric contractions.
We are looking for healthy participants to take part in 7 sessions spread over a 4-6 week period. Any help in this study would be sincerely appreciated.
