What are the differences between eccentric and concentric contraction? What are some examples?
Can you give me an example of each type of contraction?
Sure! An example of eccentric contraction is the downward phase of a bicep curl, where the bicep muscle is lengthening while still under tension. An example of concentric contraction is the upward phase of a bicep curl, where the bicep muscle is shortening while still under tension.
