Type of Contraction

Description

Example

I CONCENTRIC Muscle shortens S O T Muscle lengthens O ECCENTRIC N I C

Quads when kicking ball (extending) Triceps during bicep curl on ________ phase Crucifix position holding weight at arms length

ISOMETRIC/ STATIC

Muscle stays same length throughout

Type of Contraction

Muscle carrying out contraction type

Shoulder pass netball

Football kick

Sit up (upward phase)

Gripping tennis racquet

Concentric (contract) Eccentric (extend) Isometric (stay same)

Triceps Biceps

Quadriceps Hamstrings

Rectus Abdominus Erector Spinae Wrist extensors/ flexors

Kinesiology: study of body movement Consider:

Function of contracting muscles How muscle contracting (e.g. eccentric/concentric) Movement patters at joints (e.g. extension/ flexion)
