(of a motion) Against or in the opposite direction of contraction of a muscle (e.g., such as results from flexion of the lower arm (bending of the elbow joint) by an external force while contracting the triceps and other elbow extensor muscles to control that movement; opening of the jaw while flexing the masseter).
Pendant l'exercice d'haltérophilie, l'abaissement de l'haltère était une contraction excentrique de son biceps, car il s'allongeait tout en contrôlant le poids.
