Resistance, or weight training, is widely recommended in sports and rehabilitation as an effective exercise to increase muscular strength and size. This form of exercise involves applying resistance to muscle contraction to build strength. However, some practitioners believe resistance training can increase passive muscle stiffness over time.

Few studies have investigated the long-term effects of resistance training on passive muscle stiffness. One study showed that the passive muscle stiffness of the semimembranosus , one of the three hamstring muscles in the thigh, can decrease for a short time after eccentric-only resistance training at long muscle lengths with long contraction duration . Eccentric-only resistance training focuses solely on the muscle-lengthening phases of exercises, such as deadlifts.
The study included contributions from Katsuki Takahashi, Tatsuya Hojo, and Taku Wakahara from the Faculty of Health and Sports Science at Doshisha University. It was published online in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise on July 16, 2024.
