“…To create eccentric overload, authors recommend modifying the tempo and range of motion during the eccentric phase (i.e., decelerating or slowing down at the end of the eccentric phase) (71). Horizontal cylinders and higher inertias have shown more likelihood of creating eccentric overload (61,70).…”

“…It has been consistently demonstrated that compared with nonstretched muscle, prestretch during eccentric muscle contractions can produce greater force and power output during successive concentric contraction (15). In this sense, flywheel eccentric training is based on stretch-shortening cycle with greater overload than other gravity-dependent exercises (i.e., countermovement jump) (71), with recent research showing higher forces during coupled eccentric–concentric compared with isolated concentric muscle action (61), More so, the level of inertia will have an impact on the degree of stretch-shortening cycle use, which is maximized when using low-to-medium inertias (61).…”

“…For example, if a novel athlete is performing a leg extension in a flywheel leg extension device with a low concentric speed because of inexperience or lack of understanding, throughout the eccentric phase, the kinetic energy that the athlete absorbs would not be enough to generate eccentric overload. To create eccentric overload, authors recommend modifying the tempo and range of motion during the eccentric phase (i.e., decelerating or slowing down at the end of the eccentric phase) (71). Horizontal cylinders and higher inertias have shown more likelihood of creating eccentric overload (61,70).…”

Eccentric resistance training has been shown to elicit beneficial effects on performance and injury prevention in sports because of its specific muscular and neural adaptations. Within the different methods used to generate eccentric overload, flywheel eccentric training has gained interest in recent years because of its advantages over other methods such as its portability, the ample exercise variety it allows and its accommodated resistance. Only a limited number of studies that use flywheel devices provide enough evidence to support the presence of eccentric overload. There is limited guidance on the practical implementation of flywheel eccentric training in the current literature. In this article, we provide literature to support the use of flywheel eccentric training and present practical guidelines to develop exercises that allow eccentric overload.

“…Bodyweight training has many advantages and should not be considered the panacea for all health and fitness-related goals. For instance, bodyweight training may not match the absolute strength (the ability to move an absolute amount of load) gains achieved from free-weight or machine training [6,15]. However, research suggests that adding resistance bands to bodyweight strengthening exercises such as push-ups can rival the absolute strength improvements of barbell training [16].…”

“…According to this theory [31,33], improvements in muscular performance can be achieved from as little as two sets per exercise, which means the exercise session can be completed in as little as 15-minutes. On the other hand, making gradual increases in volume and gradual decreases in intensity is an effective training method to increase muscular (Table 3 increasing the total number of repetitions, adding multiple sets, completing repetitions for time, speed and tempo manipulations, varying the base of support, lever manipulation and changing the starting position such as switching from a base position on the floor to an incline or decline position [15].…”

The COVID Pandemic and cost of living crisis have created renewed interest in home gymnasiums, and outdoor exercise regimes as the stay-athome economy continues to grow. Emerging from the revolution in stay-at-home exercise has renewed interest in bodyweight exercise training regimes which have stood the test of time against conventional exercise modalities. This mini review highlights the benefits of bodyweight exercise to develop muscular strength and endurance and provides recommendations on using bodyweight training to improve muscular strength and endurance.

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyze whether isoinertial flywheel training (FWT) is superior to traditional resistance training (TRT) in enhancing maximal strength and muscle power in healthy individuals. Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in the Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, SPORTDiscus, and Scopus databases up to 21 April 2024. Outcomes were analyzed as continuous variables using either a random or fixed effects model to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: A total of sixteen articles, involving 341 subjects, met the inclusion criteria and were included in the statistical analyses. The pooled results indicate no statistically significant differences between FWT and TRT in developing maximal strength in healthy individuals (SMD = 0.24, 95% CI [−0.26, 0.74], p = 0.35). Additionally, the pooled outcomes showed a small-sized effect in muscle power with FWT (SMD = 0.47, 95% CI [0.10, 0.84]), which was significantly higher than that with TRT (p = 0.01) in healthy individuals. Subgroup analysis revealed that when the total number of FWT sessions is between 12 and 18 (1–3 times per week), it significantly improves muscle power (SMD = 0.61, 95% CI [0.12, 1.09]). Significant effects favoring FWT for muscle power were observed in both well-trained (SMD = 0.58, 95% CI [0.04, 1.13]) and untrained individuals (SMD = 1.40, 95% CI [0.23, 2.57]). In terms of exercise, performing flywheel training with squat and lunge exercises significantly enhances muscle power (SMD = 0.43; 95% CI: 0.02–0.84, and p = 0.04). Interestingly, FWT was superior to weight stack resistance training (SMD = 0.61, 95% CI [0.21, 1.00]) in enhancing muscle power, while no significant differences were found compared to barbell free weights training (SMD = 0.36, 95% CI [−0.22, 0.94]). Conclusions: This meta-analysis confirms the superiority of FWT compared to TRT in promoting muscle power in both healthy untrained and well-trained individuals. Squats and lunges for FWT are more suitable for improving lower limb explosive power. It is recommended that coaches and trainers implement FWT for six weeks, 2–3 times per week, with at least a 48 h interval between each session. Although FWT is not superior to free weights training, it is advisable to include FWT in sport periodization to diversify the training stimuli for healthy individuals.
