10/13/2008 Functions of Muscular Contractions • Concentric Tension • Eccentric Tension • Isometric Tension Concentric Tension • To act as a motive force to move a body part • Type of dynamic tension • “moving towards the center” • Movements caused by the muscle hamstrings flex the knee elbow extensors used during a push-up Eccentric Tension • To act as a resistive force to resist the movement of a body part • Type of dynamic tension • Lengthening tension of a muscle group • “away from the center” • Control speed and direction of movement caused by another force (gravity or other muscle’s force) 2
10/13/2008 Isometric Tension • To act to stabilize or fixate a body part • Type of static tension • There is muscle tension, but no movement • Resists force from other muscle or outside source 3
