How are eccentric and concentric contractions formed?
Can you explain how eccentric and concentric contractions are formed?
Sure! Eccentric contractions occur when the muscle lengthens while under tension, such as when lowering a weight during a bicep curl. Concentric contractions, on the other hand, occur when the muscle shortens while under tension, such as when lifting a weight during a bicep curl.
