“Concentric movement refers to the phase of muscle contraction where the muscle shortens while generating force,” says Rowan ...

Isotonic concentric contraction – this involves the muscle shortening. The origin and insertion of the muscle move closer together and the muscle becomes fatter. Isotonic eccentric contraction ...

Isotonic contractions – these occur when a muscle contracts and changes length and there are two types: Isotonic concentric contraction – this involves the muscle shortening. The origin and ...

When muscle cells are viewed under the microscope, one can see that they contain a striped pattern (striations). This pattern is formed by a series of basic units called sarcomeres that are ...

Objectives The goals were: (1) to describe the concentric and eccentric quadriceps (Q ... to compare bilateral strength asymmetry in Q and H muscles in two different contraction modes. Design ...

Objective: To investigate the acute effects of isolated eccentric and concentric calf muscle exercise on Achilles tendon sagittal thickness. Design: Within-subject, counterbalanced, mixed design.
