- 5.Concentric contraction
- A.
Force transferred externally through SEC
- B.

- C.
Force output = CC + SEC
- 6.Eccentric contraction
- A.
Force transferred externally through SEC

SEC lengthens and contributes to overall force output
- C.
Force output = CC + SEC
- 7.Proprioceptive stretch reflex
- A.
Mechanoreceptors detect stretch resulting in alterations in muscle tone, motor execution and kinesthetic awareness
- B.
Muscle spindle response is graded by the rate of stretch
- C.
Rapid loading = greater firing frequency = greater reflexive contraction
- D.
During eccentric loading, muscle tension increases, triggering golgi tendon organ to initiate reduction in muscle excitation
- E.
While muscle spindle and GTO oppose each other – both contribute to increased force production
- F.
Length is proportional to amount of stretching force applied
- G.
Absolute strength of fiber
- H.
Increased force production is dependent on transition from eccentric to concentric contraction
