Eccentric strengthening refers to exercises that focus on muscle lengthening under tension, where the muscle elongates while contracting to control movement. This type of training is crucial in rehabilitation and injury prevention because it enhances muscle control, tendon resilience, and functional strength. It is particularly important in managing tendinopathies, such as Achilles tendinopathy, where eccentric loading promotes tendon healing and reduces pain.
