Acute cross-education effect on force production and central/peripheral responses to unilateral eccentric and concentric resistance exercise in elbow flexors

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Unilateral eccentric and concentric resistance exercises can modulate the neuromuscular response differently, which influences the transference of the force production capacity to the contralateral nonexercised muscle. Unilateral eccentric exercise induced decreases in corticospinal excitability with associated reductions in the early phase of the rate of torque development, which differs from the changes observed after concentric exercise. Thus, both exercise modalities seem to change the excitability differently.
