What makes Kettlebell Training different from other types of weight training?

The design makes the kettlebell different. When you hold a kettlebell, the weight is distributed unevenly. While dumbbells distributes the weight evenly over your hand. As with most conventional exercises there is more emphasis on the concentric phase (shortening) of the muscle. With Kettlebell training there is more emphasis on the eccentric phase (lengthening) of the muscle. Eccentric training has shown to cause an increase of strength and higher demand on caloric burn, which is a result of rapid weight loss and increase of strength.
