Eccentric movement occures when the muscle is lengthened. as opposed to the Concentric movement which is when the muscle is shortened.
Desmotec flywheel training devices focus on overloading the eccentric phase of movements. These are crucial to our day-to-day function, they are controlled movements in which the active muscle is lengthened such as slowing or stopping when walking to cross the road or sitting down into a chair. Eccentric muscle power allows you to move with control and efficiency, improving function and reducing the risk of injury. Using eccentric movements in training helps to enhance muscle activation and maximise strength gains.
Eccentric Training Vs Concentric Training: Which Is Better For You?

This thesis found absorbing more energy in less time was key to preventing injuries and increasing performance. If an individual had greater Eccentric Strength then they would Absorb more energy quickly. Flywheel devices were best at overloading the Eccentric(EOL) phase and thus Improving Eccentric strength.

This paper looks at how warming-up with Desmotec Flywheel Eccentric training devices may make you better prepared for competition. The Desmotec devices are highly portable and easy to have on the sideline or in the warm up area at tourmnaments. The Postactivation Potentiation(PAP) from using Desmotec flywheel devices is significant and will have an increased initial impact between 3-9 minutes after work. Background to Eccentric Overload Training(EOL) Eccentric Overload(EOL) training is a methodology used to improve sports performance, and it is commonly generated from flywheel devices because it is easiest done this way. They create more power in less time than other methods of work in a functional way(from 20-60% more than Concentric isometric contraction) The Science-PAP when warming-up with Desmotec Eccentric Overload Training(EOL) was found to be a valid exercise to stimulate PAP. EOL bout increased the jump height, peak power, impulse and peak force during a CMJ, as well as the quadriceps and hamstrings isokinetic strength in male athletes. Optimal time window for PAP was 3-9 minutes post exercise but also some increments were observed at 1 minute (Effects of Postactivation Potentiation(PAP) after an Eccentric Overload bout on Countermovement Jump and Lower-Limb muscle strength- Marco Beato,Adam Stiff and Giuseppe Coratella) Optimal sets and rests of Eccentric Overload Training(EOL) was found to be 2 or 3 sets of 6 repetitions with a 2 minute passive rest recover. Effect of Volume on Eccentric Overload–Induced Postactivation Potentiation of Jumps Kevin L. de Keijzer, Stuart A. McErlain-Naylor, Antonio Dello Iacono, and Marco Beato) Eccentric contractions exploit greater muscular mechanical efficiency in comparison to concentric contractions because greater levels of force can be produced with less energy. (Hody et al 2019, Zamparo et al 2015) Accentuated Eccentric muscle contractions can elicit a few beneficial neuromuscular adaptations: These responses represent key aspects for muscular strength and power development(Douglas et al 2017) Eccentric Overload Training absorbs more energy in less time is key to preventing injuries and increasing the performance. This absorbing of energy is best done by improving Eccentric strength and that by Eccentric Overload(EOL) training with Flywheel devices.Deceleration in sport by Dr.Damien Harper www.humanbrakingperformance.com/research Benefits of warming-up with Desmotec Flywheel Eccentric Devices Summary Warming up with Desmotec Flywheel Eccentric training devices give you an edge in training or competition and they are so easy to use because they are so portable.
