24 POINTS TO WHOEVER CAN ANSWER THIS RIGHT AWAY!!! Of the three types of muscle contractions we have discussed (eccentric/length
ening, concentric/shortening, and isometric/steady), which one do you think you experience most often during a normal day? How about if you are doing physical activity? Please give examples for both a normal day muscle contraction and a physical activity muscle contraction.
The most common muscle contraction I think I experience the most throughout a day are eccentric contractions. Examples of eccentric contractions include walking down stairs or running uphill. I often do both of these activities on the daily.
Although for physical activity, I often do more activities that cause concentric contractions. Exercises that have a lot of concentric contractions often include lifting a heavy object off the ground. A lot of the exercises I perform involve pulsing a weight, this would cause a lot of concentric contractions in my muscles.
Approach an adult such as a high school counselor. Inform them of the situation. Then, after the adult consults with the friend, I would approach him/her and help them out with whatever they are going through. I'd tell them that I'm there for them and try to help to get them to stop.
