During eccentric muscle contraction, the muscle
a. gets longer as it contracts
b. gets shorter as it contracts
c. moves isometrically
d. does not change length

The right option is; A. gets longer as it contracts

During eccentric muscle contraction, the muscle gets longer as it contracts.  

An eccentric contraction, also called braking contraction is a type of muscle activation in which the tension on an active muscle is increased which lengthens it as it contracts. This contraction usually takes place when a muscle resists a stronger force, which causes the length of the muscle to increase as it contracts. Certain exercises that can cause an eccentric contraction include; downward motion of push-ups, lowering weights, and going down stairs
