Question

During a bench press with a load equal to 50% of your max (assume slow, controlled velocity both up and down, what is TRUE of the concentric portion vs. the eccentric portion of the lift? O during the contrentric portion, the active muscle fibers will be generating more force per fiber compared to during the eccentric portion O during the eccentric portion, more total muscle fibers will be active O during the eccentric portion, there will be a greater excitatory input to the motor neuron pool during the eccentric portion, there will be fewer total cross-bridges connected within the muscle, but there will be more force per cross-bridge O the concentric phase corresponds to lowering the bar, and the eccentric phase corresponds to lifting the bar

Explanation / Answer

C.during the eccentric portion there will be fewer total cross bridges connected within the muscles but there will be more force per cross bridge.
