Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A type of contraction that results in the shortening of a muscle
A
concentric
B
eccentric
C
isometric
D
peristalsis
E
agonist
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are 2 types of isotonic contractions: concentric and eccentric . In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance then remains stable as the muscle shortens. During eccentric contraction, the muscle lengthens as the resistance becomes greater than the force the muscle is producing.

Detailed explanation-2: -A concentric contraction is a type of muscle activation that causes tension on your muscle as it shortens. As your muscle shortens, it generates enough force to move an object. This is the most popular type of muscle contraction. In weight training, a bicep curl is an easy-to-recognize concentric movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Concentric Contractions This occurs throughout the length of the muscle, generating force at the musculo-tendinous junction; causing the muscle to shorten and the angle of the joint to change.
