Eccentric exercises are not a separate kind of exercise. Rather, each resistance exercise has two phases. (1) The concentric phase is when the muscle group being trained is shortened, for example, when you raise a barbell doing a standing curl. (2) The eccentric phases is when the muscle group being trained is lengthened, for example, when you lower a barbell doing a standing curl to its original position.

Is a squat eccentric or concentric?
Both. Concentric: Exercise where the muscle is contracted under a load Eccentric: Exercise where the muscle is stretched under a load. So when you squat down its eccentric, when you come back up its concentric. Most exercises are both, with a few exceptions (i.e. jumping of a wall is mainly eccentric, while a punch is mainly concentric. Eccentric contraction is associated with increased muscle growth, but also DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness, when your muscles are very sore after a workout).
Is Eccentric muscle training safe?
Is lowering the weight during a workout important? Eccentric contractions are the lowering ( lengthening technically) phase of an exercise. So lowering the weight after a bicep curl or bench press is the the eccentric phase. On a lat pulldown it’s actually when you are bringing the bar back up. The eccentric phase causes much of the muscle soreness we feel the next day but it also leads to small tears in the muscle cells which leads to one part of muscle growth. So they are beneficial parts of the exercise.
