Studies investigating ECC only vs. CON only RT and the contribution to the increase in lean mass/fat free mass within a young healthy population.

Studies	Population & muscle group	Intensity/duration	Matching	Results	Interpretation
Nickols-Richardson et al., 2007	Young Women—Quadriceps/Biceps fem—Elbow flexors/extensors	MVC—20 Wks	No	No differences in fat free mass for ECC and CON	Muscle FFM/LM: Similar responses between ECC and CON to either Isokinetic or Isotonic RET for thigh fat free mass and lean mass.
Hawkins et al., 1999	Young women—Quadriceps	MVC—18 Wks	No	Similar ECC and CON increase in Lean Mass
English et al., 2014	Young men—Quadriceps & Triceps Surae	ECC performed at 0/33/66/100 or 138 % CON load (5 training groups)—8 Wks	Only one ECC group was load matched (138% CON load)	Similar ECC and CON increase in Lean Mass
Franchi et al., 2015	Young men—Quadriceps	%80 1RM ECC and CON, respective to the training—4 Wks	Matched for max relative load and theoretical equivalent neural activation	Similar ECC and CON increase in Lean Mass
