TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide greater clarity on how the GAS serves as an appropriate mechanistic model to conceptualize the periodization of training.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to summarize the magnitudes and methods of AEL application, the acute and chronic implications, the potential mechanisms by which AEL enhances acute and Chronic performance, and the limitations of current research and the potential for future study.

TL;DR: Small increases in RFD and CSA can be expected in well-trained weightlifters throughout a single block periodized training cycle, and changes in early and late RFD time bands may not occur proportionally throughout different training phases.

TL;DR: Overall, eccentric overload demonstrated efficacy as a means of increasing eccentric work and RFD, but not as a Means of potentiating concentric output.

TL;DR: The results suggest that if practitioners intend to gain insight into strength-power potential based on ultrasonography measurements, performing the measurement collection with the athlete in a standing posture may be preferred.
