Higher Eccentric Strength Mitigates Deceleration Performance Decline During Repeated Deceleration Tasks

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate how eccentric strength affects deceleration performance during repeated tasks.
• Analyzed the relationship between eccentric strength and deceleration performance.
• Assessed performance during high-load deceleration tasks.
• Examined the role of concentric mechanical capacities in maintaining performance.
• Greater eccentric strength was associated with reduced decline in deceleration performance.
• Maintaining concentric mechanical capacities also contributed to sustained deceleration performance.
• Impairment in performance was observed during repeated deceleration tasks without adequate eccentric strength.
