Eccentric contraction
What type of muscle contraction involves constant (no change) in muscle length during contraction?
Isometric contraction
Which type of muscle contraction involves less tension than isometric contraction?
Concentric contraction
In which type of muscle contraction is there more tension than isometric contraction?
Eccentric contraction
Study Notes
Muscle Contraction Types
- Concentric muscle contraction involves the ability of muscle to contract against load direction with shortening in muscle fibers.
- Eccentric muscle contraction produces lengthening in muscle fibers while contracting with the same direction of the load.
- Isometric muscle contraction involves constant (no change) in muscle length during contraction.
- Isotonic muscle contraction involves less tension than isometric contraction.
- Isotonic muscle contraction with higher tension is a type of muscle contraction that involves more tension than isometric contraction.
