7. Which type of contraction occurs when tension develops as the muscle lengthens?


Answer :

Answer:

Eccentric contraction

Explanation:

Eccentric contraction occurs when the total length of the muscle increases as tension is produced. For example, the lowering phase of a biceps curl constitutes an eccentric contraction. Muscles are capable of generating greater forces under eccentric conditions than under either isometric or concentric contractions.
