The key here is same weight and same reps. You would need to compare the other leg with normal concentric and eccentric movement speeds and higher weight. To me that was a poorly done study and what it points out is common since.

Ditto! This was a poor test which resulted in inaccurate data for comparison. Group B should have used heavier (85% of 1RM) weight and lift to failure if they wanted to see which method of lifting produced the most muscle protein synthesis.

That's what happens when people that never lift conduct weightlifting experiments

I can see everyones point here, but this bodes well for people just comming back into training from an injury, or just a long "break".
