  2. Concentric objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_objects

    The region of the plane between two concentric circles is an annulus, and analogously the region of space between two concentric spheres is a spherical shell. [6] For a given point c in the plane, the set of all circles having c as their center forms a pencil of circles. Each two circles in the pencil are concentric, and have different radii.

  3. Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction

    In concentric contraction, muscle tension is sufficient to overcome the load, and the muscle shortens as it contracts. [8] This occurs when the force generated by the muscle exceeds the load opposing its contraction. During a concentric contraction, a muscle is stimulated to contract according to the sliding filament theory. This occurs ...

  4. Isotonic contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotonic_contraction

    A near isotonic contraction is known as Auxotonic contraction. There are two types of isotonic contractions: (1) concentric and (2) eccentric. In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance, then remains the same as the muscle shortens.

    Work also was compared between the first 8 and last 8 repetitions. Endurance parameters were measured during concentric knee flexion and extension activity only. On R+0, significant decreases in concentric and eccentric strength were shown in the back and abdomen when compared to the preflight means (table 6-1).

  7. Science project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.

    In an eccentric movement, the force of the contraction is less than the force giving upon it, so the muscle can lengthen at an appropriate time,” says Guillermo Escalante, DSc, C.S.C.S., a ...

  9. Talk:Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Muscle_contraction

    Newton's third law requires that the muscle tension and its load, possibly including inertial loads, be equal. It is the muscle ability to generate force while isometric that exceeds the load in a concentric contraction and is exceeded by it in an eccentric contraction. I am new here so reluctant to just change it. Advice appreciated.
