Let’s talk about the best exercise for recovery. There are three main types of movements:


1. Isometric:

You’re holding a pose. You’re contracting your muscles, but you’re not lengthening or shortening the muscles. 

2. Concentric:

You’re shortening the muscle while contracting. 

3. Eccentric:

You’re lengthening the muscle while contracting. 


Eccentric motions can have a lot of benefits. There are actually more benefits of eccentric motions than concentric type motions. 


Benefits of eccentric motions: 

 • Eccentric motions may produce bigger, faster, and stronger muscles

 • There’s greater force 

 • You’ll get the best repair possible 

 • Eccentric motions are more efficient (less mitochondrial adaptation)

 • Eccentric motions may be good for people with sarcopenia, osteopenia, or tendon damage

 • Eccentric motions may produce more metabolic rate, more improvement with inflammation, and less inflammation
