Concentric and eccentric contraction |
1. a common form of muscle contraction that occurs in rhythmic activities when the muscle fibers shorten as tension develops. 2. a type of muscle contraction that occurs as the muscle fibers lengthen, such as when a weight is lowered through a range of motion. The contractile force generated by the muscle is weaker than an opposing force, which causes the muscle to stretch. |
