Eccentrics, Concentrics and Isometrics Unpacked
Access: Lifetime of site. This course is an in-depth look at the mechanical relationships, namely length-tension and force-velocity, that influence mechanotransduction and protein synthesis.

This course looks at the mechanical relationships, namely length-tension and force-velocity, that influence mechanotransduction and protein synthesis. We focus on eccentric, concentric and isometric contractions exploring the effects of stress/load/force, strain/length/deformation and active/passive tension in depth.
Course includes BONUS MODULE:
“Eccentric Quasi-Isometric - A new approach to muscular and connective tissue training”
Eccentrics and isometrics are used a lot in the rehab and performance space. Would there be benefit to bring these contraction types together? What would this type of training look like?
This module will explore the why and how of EQI training and you will leave with a clear understanding of how and when to load and the potential tissue adaptations.
More About This Course:
The mechanical load you provide your patient/athlete affects molecular signalling (mechanotransduction) and therefore muscle remodelling e.g. protein synthesis after injury. This course looks at the mechanical relationships, namely length-tension and force-velocity, that influence this process. Your understanding around eccentric, concentric and isometric contractions are a focus as well exploring the effects of stress/load/force, strain/length/deformation and active/passive tension in depth.
This course is designed to be completed over four-weeks - at your own pace. We suggest planning 2-3 hours per week to fully review the course material, complete the case studies and quizzes, and integrate the material into your practice. All course activities are optional, but encouraged to support learning. You will have access to the course material for 4 weeks.
In this course you will learn:
