Eccentric muscle contraction

When we exercise we typically perform both contractions by lifting and lowering the weights..When the muscle fibres shorten during an exercise contraction like hamstrings when lifting the barbell from the ground in a deadlift or the pectoralis muscles during the lifting part of the bench.. these muscles are performing a "concentric contraction". On the other hand eccentric contractions occur when the muscles lengthen under load: For example the hamstrings during the lowering part of a RDL.

Muscle contraction is simply muscles doing work. So what’s with all these complicated terms? Isometric contraction is what happens when you lift and hold a heavy weight steady. Your muscles b…

Types of muscle contractions

Isometric vs Isotonic: Which one to use for strengthening exercises? We'll discuss the difference between these two types of muscle contractions.

Types of Muscle Contraction - Eccentric - The portion where the weight is lowering and the target muscle group is lengthening. During this phase is when gravity plays the biggest, & current research is going to show the most hypertrophy gainz when an athlete is controlling an exercise in the eccentric portion! - Isometric - The transition phase, where there is still tension on the muscle group. But, there is no change in length of the muscle. This would be the emphasis when performing pause…

Muscular Strength: The type of contraction affects muscle strength. Eccentric contractions are the strongest, followed by isometric and concentric contractions are the weakest.

Muscle and Motion on Instagram: "🌬️ Ever wondered which muscles help you breathe when you're performing high-intensity exercises? Forced inspiratory breathing goes beyond just your diaphragm, engaging multiple muscles to help you inhale and exhale deeply. Key players include the intercostal muscles, which help expand and contract the rib cage, and the abdominal muscles, crucial for forceful exhalation. Additionally, muscles like the scalenes and sternocleidomastoid elevate the ribs…

Isotonic contraction is a muscle contraction active against a constant load, an example would be picking up and putting down the dumbbell in the picture. Isometric contraction is when the muscle is neither elongated nor shortened. Other contractions include isokinetic (an external device controls the rate of contraction), concentric (muscle length is shortened; picking something up), and eccentric (muscle length is lengthened; putting something down).
