Eccentric Muscle Contractions: Their Contribution to Injury, Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Sport
Paul C. LaStayo,John M. Woolf,Michael D. Lewek,Lynn Snyder-Mackler,T. E. Reich,Stan L. Lindstedt +5 more
TL;DR: The nature of the structural changes and how these adaptations may help prevent musculoskeletal injury, improve sport performance, and overcome musculOSkeletal impairments are explored.
When active muscles lengthen: properties and consequences of eccentric contractions.
TL;DR: These eccentric contractions, which result in both braking and storing elastic recoil energy in normal locomotion, require very little metabolic energy, yet they are characterized by high force production.

Do muscles function as adaptable locomotor springs
TL;DR: Data is presented that support the concept that this ability of muscle to store and recover elastic strain energy is an adaptable property of skeletal muscle and that a crucial element in that muscle spring may be the protein titin.
Chronic eccentric exercise: improvements in muscle strength can occur with little demand for oxygen
TL;DR: By progressively increasing the eccentric work rate, significant isometric strength gains can be made without muscle injury and with minimal increase in metabolic demand for oxygen.

Is the spring quality of muscle plastic
TL;DR: This study tests the hypothesis that chronic eccentric (Ecc) training results in a change in the spring properties of skeletal muscle, and measurements on long heads of triceps brachii muscle indicate that the trained group produced significantly more passive lengthening force as well as more active lengtheningforce at all lengths of muscle stretch.
