Effects of a 12-week eccentric exercise on Gastrocnemius Medialis muscle-tendon complex length

The research aims to determine how eccentric exercise affects muscular adaptations, with a specific focus on the gastrocnemius muscles which have a direct influence on rehabilitation programs, training activities in sports, and the prevention of injury. Ankle angles, muscular forces (passive and active), and fascicle lengths at various time points (weeks 0, 6, and 12) were among the variables that were analysed in this study. My goal was to gain an understanding of how eccentric exercises affect the morphology and behaviour of muscles by looking at these variables. A different set of eccentric exercises was provided to 6 subjects in total over the course of 12 weeks and the data was gathered to give a picture of how eccentric training affects the gastrocnemius muscles. The comparisons were done with respect to observing an increase in the force-generating capacity from week 0 to week 6 to week 12.
