In physical education (PE), "eccentric" refers to a type of muscle contraction where the muscle lengthens while under tension, typically occurring when lowering a weight or during certain movements like descending stairs. This contrasts with concentric contractions, where muscles shorten. Eccentric exercises can help improve strength and flexibility and are often used in rehabilitation and athletic training to enhance performance and prevent injuries.
