The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of chronic concentric or eccentric training on position sense and joint reaction angle, in healthy, untrained young men. Twenty‐four men were randomly assigned into a pure concentric (CT) or a pure eccentric (ET) group and performed for 8 weeks, one training session/week, 75 maximal knee extensors contractions. Before and 48 h after the first (W1) and the last (W8) training sessions, knee joint position sense and joint reaction angle were assessed at three different knee angles (i.e. 30°, 45° and 60°). At the same time points, indirect indices of exercise‐induced muscle damage (EIMD) were evaluated (i.e. range of motion [ROM], optimal angle, maximum isometric, concentric and eccentric torques, delayed onset muscle soreness [DOMS] and blood creatine kinase concentrations [CK]). Forty‐eight hours post W1, position sense, reaction angle and all EIMD indices were significantly changed for both groups ( p  &lt; 0.05; η 2 : 0.125–0.618), however, greater alterations were observed after ET. Significant correlations were found, in both groups, between the training‐induced changes of position sense, reaction angles and the changes of EIMD biomarkers ( r : −0.855–0.825;  p  &lt; 0.005). No significant changes were found 48 h post W8 for position sense, reaction angle and EIMD indices ( p  &gt; 0.285) for both CT or ET groups. In conclusion, exercise‐induced changes in position sense and reaction angle, were related to the magnitude of EIMD, and not by the type of muscle contraction  per se .
