In Resistance Training, concentric and eccentric contractions are two movements done by opposing muscles. Eccentric contractions are said to cause delayed onset of muscle sorennes( DOMS).

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).

What is eccentric exercise?

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.
