What are some symptoms of eccentric and concentric contractions?
Can you tell me about eccentric and concentric contractions? What are some symptoms of these types of muscle contractions?
Eccentric contractions occur when a muscle lengthens while under tension, whereas concentric contractions occur when a muscle shortens in response to tension. Some symptoms of eccentric contractions include soreness, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Meanwhile, some symptoms of concentric contractions include muscle fatigue, shortness of breath, and increased heart rate.
