Talk:Eccentric (sport)

i need to know about basketball anotomy! what muscles it takes to do certian things. such as a jump shot or lay up
 * Try clicking this link for the article on the human leg. It lists all the muscles in the leg with links to articles on each one. The most important ones for jumping are probably quadriceps femoris, gastrocnemius, soleus muscle, and the hamstring muscles. Click through those links to learn more about them, but they are unfortunately written in language a little too technical. Questions like this would probably be better posted at the reference desk though. How did you find this page to ask the question on, just curious? I would have thought you would have gotten to jumping which doesn't happen to answer your question. - Taxman Talk 23:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

There is also a page on Eccentric contraction, which covers this in greater detail. It might be an idea to merge this page with it, as well as the page in Eccentric exercise. WLU 23:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
