Abstract in brief

  • Eccentric knee extensor training is more effective than concentric training in improving physical fitness, insulin sensitivity, and cholesterol profiles in elderly men.
  • The study found that eccentric training led to greater increases in muscle strength, better blood sugar regulation, and more favorable lipid profile changes without causing muscle damage.
  • These findings suggest that focusing on eccentric exercises could be particularly beneficial for health and mobility in older adults.
