Multiscale hamstring muscle adaptations following 9 weeks of eccentric training doi.org/10.1016/j.jshs…

Training with focus on eccentric movements show increased fascicle length, muscle volume, and knee flexion! Could be great for older adults and populations where the concentric phase of exercise is especially hard. #PSUClinExPhy Vincenzo Nocera, Ph.D, CTRS

‘Load and muscle-dependent changes in triceps surae motor unit firing properties in individuals with non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy’ Our latest study has just been published in Journal of Physiology - we found multiple neuromechanical adaptations induced by AT physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

🚨New study on Hamstrings Volume & Architecture ➡️ 9wks Nordics 🚨 Findings 🧐 - muscle volume ⬆️ in all muscles but most in ST (26%) & BfSh (22%) - Fibre tract length ⬆️ in all bt mostly ST (18%). - Fibre tract lengths all returned to BL ➡️ 3wks detraining. key figure below 👇

Very interesting review by Anthony Blazevich et al on the current evidence about sarcomerogenesis and its application to ecologically valid exercise protocols. Still much we don't know and reason to be cautious when drawing conclusions on the topic 💪 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨🦵Hamstring injury 🔴 Prevention may be misunderstood 🟡 Most happen in sprinting when hamstrings face 🔝 eccentric load 👀 Eccentric training helps but neural + non-contractile adaptations: key 📩 Comment HAMS to get an visual of protective adaptations through ecc training

Hamstrings often tear when sprinting at max speed—eccentric load + delayed activation = trouble. Nordic curls help, but prevention goes beyond muscle length: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Smarter strategies are needed. Start with Invincible: theelitetrainer.com/product/invinc…
