The vasti muscles are used both for sit-to-stand AND stand-to-sit movements. Which of these two tasks represents a concentric contraction and which represents an eccentric contraction?
Which muscle (vastus lateralis or medialis) do you think is more important for doing a slow, controlled stand-to-sit transition?
If you witnessed your grandfather "plopping" (doing an uncontrolled sit) into a chair, would you recommend giving him eccentric or concentric strengthening exercises for his vasti muscles? Justify your answer.
