The effects of eccentric phase tempo in squats on hypertrophy, strength, and contractile properties of the quadriceps femoris muscle

These findings suggest that slower eccentric tempo in RT may optimize vastus lateralis hypertrophy and enhance strength while promoting muscle fiber-type specificity, contributing to the understanding of eccentric training's role in muscle adaptation.
