RSCC Eccentric Training Methods- Benefits, Shortcomings, and Implementation

In order to develop athletes who can move optimally in multiple planes of motion, training should include elements that can challenge them in multiple planes while providing various resistance and proprioceptive challenges.

Research shows that the appropriate integration of resistance training into the endurance athlete’s training can result in significantly better performance when compared to classic endurance training plans that focus only on aerobic endurance.

Matt Rhea, PhD, CSCS,*D, speaks at the 2013 Personal Trainers Conference on strength training for endurance athletes.

This infographic briefly reviews the application and training adaptations of eccentric quasi-isometric resistance training.

Brad Schoenfeld, MS, CSCS, CSPS, NSCA-CPT provides a brief overview of Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT).

Nick Tumminello spoke at the NSCA's 2013 Personal Trainer Conference on how to develop a bodyweight training program.

Altering set configurations during a resistance training program can provide a novel training variation that can be used to modify the external and internal training loads that induce specific training outcomes. To design training programs that better target the defined goal(s) of a specific training phase, strength and conditioning professionals need to better understand how different set configurations affect the training adaptations that result from resistance training. Traditional and cluster set structures are commonly implemented by strength and conditioning professionals as part of an athlete’s resistance training program. The purpose of this review is to offer examples of the practical implementation of traditional and cluster sets that can be integrated into a periodized resistance training program.

Velocity-based training (VBT) has been generating a lot of buzz lately. In this session from the NSCA’s 2017 TSAC Annual Training, Dr. Bryan Mann explains how and why VBT works, how different devices work, and how to account for them in training.
