Abstract: The muscle-tendon pathologies remain very common in sport as well as to manual workers.An action of primary and secondary prevention is crucial if we are to prevent the occurrence of these pathologies and prevent recurrence.The eccentric contractions marked by the removal of muscle insertions, gives them certain preventive and rehabilitative characteristics.It is now clearly shown that the eccentric work applied to the muscle-tendon complex, leads to progressive structural changes.These adaptations allow the muscles and tendons to better suit external stresses under which they are subjected and thereby reduce the lesion risk but also to prevent recurrence.Finally, it is also accepted that only the sub maximal eccentric exercise gradually increased helped protect (up to 1 year) of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness in case of severe and unusual eccentric work.
