Episode notes
Eccentric strength training is a crucial aspect of strength training that is often overlooked. While concentric strength training involves muscle shortening and lifting weights, eccentric strength training focuses on muscle lengthening and controlling the weight while resisting gravity. As people age, the eccentric phase becomes especially important as it helps in deceleration and injury prevention, such as when walking down stairs. By specifically training eccentric movements, individuals can improve their overall strength and reduce the risk of injuries.
