Concentric muscle contraction is muscle shortening as the muscle produces tension while the insertion moves toward the origin. Movement occurs in the same direction as the tension and joint motion because the contractile force is greater than the resistive force.

Step-by-step explanation:

A concentric contraction cause muscle to shorten,thereby generating force.Eccentric contraction cause muscle to elongate in response to a greater opposing force.
