This study was to investigate the effects of continuous eccentric exercise training on total work, maximal isometric force (MIF) and range of motion (ROM). Twelve healthy, active males (19.2 ± 0.7yrs, 171.9 ± 5.3cm, 66.5 ± 5.1 kg), served as subjects. The initial exercise (ECC1) was 3 × 10 reps of maximal voluntary isokinetic eccentric contraction (ECC) on the non-dominant elbow flexors with Cybex 6000 at a speed of 60 ° / sec. Subjects performed the same exercise for the following 6 days after ECC1. MIF and ROM were measured before and immediately after each eccentric exercise. There was a significant drop in total work through 7 exercises (F=22.74, P<.01), and the percentages of MIF and ROM decreased dramatically at the same time (F=20.95, P<.01; F=23.09,P<.01). The MIF and ROM decreased values were positively correlated with total work performed (r=0.80, P<.01; r=.64, P<.05). Conclusions:Continuous maximal eccentric exercise training during DOMS was only 57% to 73% of the initial total work. In addition, there was a direct positive correlation among the amount of total work, the percentages of strength and ROM decrement measured immediately after each exercise. Therefore, it may be appropriate to train at 60% of the pre-exercise maximal eccentric force during the first 4 days, but use 70% of the pre-exercise maximal eccentric force for days 5 to days 7.
