Observation phase
Eccentric training group
Concentric training group
After screening and randomization for either the eccentric orientated intervention group or the concentric orientated intervention group, all measurements will be made for the first time by investigators at point A1. An observational phase for six weeks will follow to achieve an intern acceptance sampling for the measurements which will be used.
Subjects in the eccentric training group (GEC) will attend six weeks of eccentric orientated training. The eccentric orientated training will use the cadence 3-0-1 for eccentric - break - concentric. 3 sessions/week 60 minutes per session including a warming up and cool down phase 6 exercises total of 18 sessions
The concentric training group (GCO) will attend six weeks of concentric orientated training. Each group will perform a manual resistance/bodyweight resistance training accentuating the concentric phase of the movement. The concentric orientated training will use the cadence 1-0-3 for eccentric - break - concentric. 3 sessions/week 60 minutes per session including a warming up and cool down phase 6 exercises total of 18 sessions
