The Best Type of Exercise for Recovery
from Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast · host Dr. Eric Berg
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 Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
