#Eccentric Exercise Examples

Eccentric strength training (i.e. lowering supra maximal loads aka eccentric overload) can be an absolute cheat code for helping you jump higher and be a better overall athlete It helps you generate more “eccentric” impulse, which helps set you up to generate more propulsive impulse during the concentric phase so you jump higher. Besides improving MU recruitment and rate coding (neural coordination) during MTU lengthening, eccentric strength training also has some unique structural adaptions, such as increasing fascicle length, tendon stiffness, and connective tissue stiffness, all of which can support higher power outputs as I have talked about in earlier videos. 
However, this type of training is VERY fatiguing due to stretch induced calcium ion channels causing massive amounts of lasting calcium ion related fatigue (muscle damage + CNS fatigue), which is why it’s important to program it carefully & for well prepared athletes. You also don’t want to detrain concentric strength in the process! Which is why at THP we run a long conjugate sequence system periodization model to ensure we don’t detrain key performance qualities while others are being emphasized 🚀if you’re ready to jump higher, run faster, and train like an Olympic athlete, sign up for personalized training at THP Strength! #sportsperformance #fitness #sportsscience #strengthandconditioning #sports #training #athlete #strengthtraining #basketball #dunk #volleyball #football #trackandfield #strength #speedtraining #athleticperformance #strengthcoach #injuryprevention #sportsperformancetraining #kneepain #performancetraining #speed #workout #sport #plyometrics #personaltrainer #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #dunking #jumping

The Split-Stance Hop: Big Toe & Agility Reset This one looks like play. But it’s one of the most complete drills you can give your nervous system. Standing in a forward lunge, with a block just in front of your lead foot, you’ll be hopping side-to-side over the object. One leg drives stability, the other trains agility. Both feed the brain new information. 1️⃣ Back Leg: Big Toe Drive Your back leg’s big toe anchors the posterior chain lighting up your foot arch, calf, glutes and spinal stabilisers. Shoes and modern surfaces often mute this pattern. This drill reawakens it. 2️⃣ Front Leg: Control Your lead leg is learning to load, lift, clear the block and land with control. This is proprioception, strength, and coordination bundled into one. 3️⃣ Agility = Mobility + Proprioception + Strength Agility isn’t just quick feet. It’s your body’s ability to move freely (mobility), know where it is in space (proprioception), and handle force (strength). Add endurance by sustaining the drill for longer sets and you’ve got all four pillars in one movement. 4️⃣ NRE Novelty is medicine. By pairing static stability in one leg with dynamic agility in the other, your brain is forced to create new coordination patterns. That’s Neural Re-Education - the Assisted Re-Learning of Pain-Free Movement - our clinical framework for re-training your nervous system out of chronic pain and into movement longevity.

You don’t have to be an athlete to move like one. Most adults simply don’t have access to coordination and agility work anymore, often because playful activities doesn’t fit the image of “respectable” adult training in a commercial gym. But these qualities shouldn’t be overlooked. Because training isn’t just about your muscles, moving well starts with your brain. Enjoy, Karin.

Dont ignore these simple exercises, research has proven that these are as effective as machine exercise done in gymnasium 🙏 These are called eccentric exercises, meaning you don't put too much effort but when done slowly the real power of muscle increases on elongation or stretching done slowly. So sit & stand slowly , pushups on a wall are classic examples. That's why patanjali says - sukham , stiram asanam , slow & steady wins the race 😜 #healthywithmohan

And if you don’t do Reflexive Eccentrics, you are 100% missing out! The first step to becoming more explosive is learning how to absorb force. That’s exactly why we train reflexive eccentrics. They teach your body how to react, not just tighten up. Every time you land, cut, or take impact, your muscles and tendons have to lengthen under load. Reflexive eccentrics train your muscles and nervous system to stabilize quickly and fire back fast. That quick stretch and rebound is what creates true power, speed, and explosiveness. The better you are at handling and redirecting force, the more athletic you become. This type of training also helps prevent injuries by teaching your body how to manage force safely. Around 80 percent of knee injuries happen during the eccentric phase. Stronger reactions. Faster rebounds. Safer movement. That’s the power of reflexive eccentrics.
