There are three types of muscle contraction: concentric, isometric, and eccentric.

Concentric: In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance then remains stable as the muscle shortens. During eccentric contraction, the muscle lengthens as the resistance becomes greater than the force the muscle is producing.

Isometric: An isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint.

Eccentric: An eccentric (lengthening) muscle contraction occurs when a force applied to the muscle exceeds the momentary force produced by the muscle itself, resulting in the forced lengthening of the muscle-tendon system while contracting

Minchanka [31]

Explanation:

what i think what be a good thing to say is that it obviously depends on what you do through the day like do you just drink and go to sleep and lay down every where or do you run and do stuff like that

what I would say if you are trying to lose weight is probably not to drink as much water in a short amount of time and also go for runs or do some type good exercise that will get you to sweat so you can get some of the water you drank to leave your body instead of just peeing it out as well worry about the actual food you eat because you can't expect to lose weight by eating steak and just go to sleep after

anyways I know that I didnt help that much but hopefully I made something clear or helped in some way
