Eccentric = characterized by a muscle action in which the muscle is generating active tension while being lengthened by external force; concentric = characterized by a muscle action in which the muscle is generating active tension while shortening; plyometric = characterized by a rapid transition between the initial lengthening of the muscle (i.e., eccentric action) and its subsequent shortening (i.e., concentric action).
