  2. Eccentric training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_training

    This movement has also been described as negative training. This "negative" movement is necessary to reverse the muscle from its initial trajectory. [1]When the load exceeds the force that can be developed by the muscle at a constant length, as in an eccentric muscle action, the exercise is referred to as involving negative work, because the muscle is absorbing energy.

    Every exercise (squat, deadlift, bench press, curl, row, etc.) is comprised of two distinct phases: Concentric and eccentric. The concentric phase is when you contract the targeted muscle ...

  5. Isotonic contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotonic_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. In eccentric, the muscle lengthens due to the resistance being greater than the force the muscle is producing. [citation needed]

  7. Plyometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plyometrics

    In the depth jump, the athlete experiences a shock on landing in which the hip, knee, and ankle extensor muscles undergo a powerful eccentric contraction. For the muscles to respond explosively, the eccentric contraction is then quickly switched to the isometric (when the downward movement stops) and then the concentric contraction, in a ...

  8. 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 ...
