eccentric is
stronger, more microdamage done
-lower stuff slower
order of contractions strongest to weakest
eccentric
isometric
concentric
optimal resting length
length of muscles right in the middle of range of motion (maximal force)
passive tendons don’t……
get shorter than resting length
total tension
-at shorter than resting, comes from fibers
-longer than resting you get force from fibers and elastic force from passive
stretch-shortening cycle
an eccentric contraction following immediately by a concentric
-plyometrics
-two traits: elastic recoil of passive and stretch reflex
