Concentric and eccentric: Muscle contraction or exercise? [PDF]
Enfermería Clínica, 2013 This inclusion considers the use and possible misuse of the terms “Concentric and Eccentric” in three possible contexts: first, the origin of terms; second, different approaches; and third, the possible uses. To the best of our knowledge, three articles (Aboodarda, 2011; Bdel-Aziem and Mohammad, 2012 ; Krol and Mynarski, 2012 ) have been published in ...

Eccentric Muscle Actions Add Complexity to an Already Inconsistent Resistance Exercise Nomenclature
Sports Medicine - Open, 2023 An eccentric muscle action (or contraction) is defined as active muscle lengthening against resistance, which occurs when the force generated by the muscle is smaller than the resistance placed upon it.

Effects of Eccentric Exercise on Cycling Efficiency [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 2005 The aim of this study was to find out whether the efficiency of concentric muscle contraction is impaired by eccentric squatting exercise. The study involved 25 male physical education students in two experiments. In the first experiment 14 subjects undertook cycling exercise at 65% [Formula: see text]max until exhaustion on two occasions.
