Abstract des Autors

Eccentric strength is an important component of functional daily activity and athletic performance; therefore, assessing this capability is important. Typically, isokinetic dynamometers are used to assess eccentric force capability. However, because of the limitations associated with the contraction mode (i.e., constant velocity), limited information can be obtained concerning functional muscle performance from this form of assessment. Consequently, the isoinertial assessment of eccentric force may provide more useful information for strength and conditioning practitioners. This article reviews what little research there is in this area, discussing the methodologies and limitations of the assessments used to quantify eccentric force capability. Verf.-Referat
