Question
Q- Why is it recommended to spend more
time performing the eccentric phase of
contraction rather than the concentric
phase of contraction?
(A) Because muscle damage is associated
with the concentric phase of contraction,
time spent in the eccentric phase reduces
potential muscle soreness.
(B) The eccentric phase of a contraction
focuses upon movement control and
deceleration at the joint to help protect the
joint from possible injury.
(C) Because muscle is 40-to-60% stronger
during eccentric contractions, increasing
time during this phase elevates IGF-1 levels
immediately following the training.
(D) The muscle is 20-to-40% weaker in the
eccentric phase of contraction, therefore by
extending the time under tension, it
increases muscle overload.
