Figure 1.

The changes in contralateral concentric, eccentric, and isometric peak torque are shown for the concentric-only (CONC), eccentric-only (ECC), traditional concentric–eccentric (TRAD) volume-equated training groups and control (CON). Concentric peak torque similarly increased in all training groups more than CON and was similarly retained after the detraining period. Eccentric peak torque increased and was retained similarly in ECC and TRAD more than CON, but only ECC was different from CONC. Isometric peak torque increased similarly in ECC and TRAD more than CON, but TRAD did not differ from CON at post-detraining. *p < 0.05 vs. Pre; ^ap < 0.05 vs. CON; and ^bp < 0.05 vs. CONC.
