Do negatives actually recruit different fibers? Is it just that negatives cause greater muscle recruitment and therefore more microtrauma, or are different actual fibers involved for concentric/eccentric movements?
I'd be interested on hearing a little more on this topic. Also, what is occlusion?[b said:Quote[/b] ]As JV said recruitment order is set for the most part, there are two generally accepted exceptions to the standard sequence, one is during eccentrics and the second is during occlusion. Both of these recruit type II faster than a normal repetitive or isometric contraction scenario.

That's what it sounds like to me as well. Here's a study I've since found since my original post:[b said:Quote[/b] (thehamma @ Oct. 20 2005,5:21)]I thought this implies that there is a difference in recruitment between negative and positive contractions?[b said:Quote[/b] ]recruitment order is set for the most part, there are two generally accepted exceptions to the standard sequence, one is during eccentrics and the second is during occlusion.
