Which of these statements applies to eccentric muscle contractions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eccentric muscle contractions involve the muscle lengthening while contracting, with a controlled release of tension to resist external forces acting on the muscle. This is in contrast to concentric contractions, where the muscle shortens while contracting to generate force. Option A refers to isometric muscle contractions, where tension is developed without a change in muscle length, while Option D describes the general relationship between muscle length and tension throughout the range of motion.
