Deltoid as dumbell is lowered form 90 degrees abduction
Eccentric
List whether or not the following contraction is concentric or eccentric
Gluteus Maximus as the body goes into a squat
Eccentric
Resistance varies, velocity is constant.
Isometric, isotonic, or isokinetic
Isokinetic
Resistance is constant, velocity varies.
Isometric, Isotonic or Isokinetic
Isometric
Resistance varies or is constant, velocity is zero.
Isometric, Isotonic or Isokinetic
Isotonic
Identify the muscle contraction as either being concentric or eccentric
Lengthening contraction
Eccentric
Identify the muscle contraction as either being concentric or eccentric
Shortening contraction
Concentric
Identify the muscle contraction as either being concentric or eccentric
Insertion moves toward origin
Concentric
Identify the muscle contraction as either being concentric or eccentric
Insertion moves away from origin
Eccentric
Identify the muscle contraction as either being concentric or eccentric
Type of Isotonic contraction
Eccentric, Concentric
Identify the muscle contraction as either being concentric or eccentric
Muscle contracts to move part against gravity
Concentric
I.e. Bicep Curp
Identify the muscle contraction as either being concentric or eccentric
Muscle contracts to slow the pull of gravity on a part
Eccentric
