Wait, is it really just eccentric? I thought isometric could do it too.

Totally agree, I always feel it after leg day.

Yup, eccentric is the way to go for DOMS!

I thought isotonic could cause soreness too, not just eccentric.

Eccentric movements are the main culprit for soreness!

I’m a bit confused; I thought isotonic could also lead to soreness, but now I’m leaning towards eccentric after reviewing my notes.
AN

I feel like isometric exercises might also cause some soreness, but not as much as eccentric.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think eccentric movements are definitely the ones that lead to delayed onset muscle soreness.

I think it's the eccentric action that causes the most soreness, but I'm not completely sure.

Dominga 12 months ago
I'm not 100% confident, but I think the answer is B. Eccentric muscle action, where the muscle lengthens as it contracts, tends to cause the most muscle damage and soreness.
RO
Rosenda 12 months ago
Eccentric muscle action, for sure. That's when the muscle lengthens under tension, which causes microscopic damage and inflammation leading to soreness later on.
