So imagine you're doing like a bicep curl, right? matched

That's a concentric movement, curling the dumbbell from away from you all the way up to your shoulder. matched

So that curl motion is concentric. matched

If you think about the lengthening, matched

phase of that movement. matched

So bringing the dumbbell back down into a straightened position where your arm is in a straightened position again. matched

That is the an eccentric phase. matched

So that's the lengthening under a load is essentially what you want to think about. matched

And then there's also isometric, which is like a holding movement. matched

So you're just holding one position. matched

So another example of eccentric would be like lowering yourself into a chair, going to sit on the toilet, squatting down. matched

Okay, so that lowering phase is an eccentric movement. matched

So your quadriceps are working hard while lengthening. matched

That's eccentric loading. matched

So why does this matter? matched

Eccentric strength is going to be what improves your shock absorption. matched

reduces fatigue during descents. matched

helps control joint movement and protects the knees from excessive stress. matched

If you're training your body to do that lowering phase over and over again, then it's not going to feel so painful when you're doing that movement and rep repetition on the trails. matched

So most recreational exercisers train concentric strength way more than eccentric. matched
