Muscle contractions which result in movement are known as isotonic contractions. There are two types of isotonic muscle contraction: concentric and eccentric ... Eccentric contractions are the opposite of concentric contractions. The muscle contracts but increases in length. This type of contraction occurs usually in the direction of gravity, to control a movement. For example, using the same biceps curl exercise - as the arm is slowly straightened from the bent position, the Biceps Brachii muscle contracts eccentrically to control the downward movement and increase the angle at the joint. 2, record 5, English, - eccentric%20contraction

D'autres méthodes de construction ont été développées en Allemagne : la construction travée par travée sur cintre autolanceur et la mise en place par poussage. La première méthode fait appel à un cintre outil métallique extrêmement lourd(de 200 à 600 t selon la portée de l'ouvrage et la largeur du tablier), qui peut être lancé vers l'avant en ne s’appuyant que sur la partie déjà réalisée de l'ouvrage et sur ses appuis définitifs; une fois en place, le cintre est capable de supporter le poids de la travée à construire(pont de Bremeke et, en France, viaducs de l'autoroute Roquebrune-Menton en 1970; viaducs d’accès au pont de Martigues sur la passe de Caronte en 1974). Le coût des cintres autolanceurs a conduit au développement de la technique du poussage par Fritz Leonhardt(pont sur le río Caroni au Venezuela en 1964) : l'ouvrage est bétonné au sol en arrière d’une des culées, par tronçons successifs, et il est poussé vers l'avant dans son ensemble à l'aide de vérins, par étapes successives correspondant aux phases de bétonnage, après la construction d’un tronçon ou l'achèvement d’une travée. 4, record 12, French, - cintre%20autolanceur

The weight of the skier (not the height) is the critical factor in achieving an effective stride. A light or weak-kicking skier on a stiff-cambered ski will merely slip helplessly like a dog on a newly waxed floor. That's why beginners should not buy super-stiff double-cambered skis. A heavy person on a weak-cambered ski will grip like a bulldog but glide like a snail. 1, record 16, English, - double%2Dcambered%20ski

Le facteur critique d’une bonne foulée, c'est le poids du skieur, non pas sa taille. Le skieur léger ou faible, sur skis à forte cambrure, glissera incontrôlablement comme un petit chien sur un parquet nouvellement ciré. Voilà pourquoi on ne recommande pas aux débutants d’acheter un ski dur à double cambrure. Le skieur lourd, sur ski souple, collera à la neige aussi bien qu'un bulldozer, mais n’ avancera pas plus vite que ce dernier. 1, record 16, French, - ski%20%C3%A0%20double%20cambrure

Pour soulever un objet lourd, fléchir les jambes, genoux écartés de chaque côté de l'objet puis, tout en tenant le dos bien droit, adopter un balancement latéral qui permette de soulever le poids alors que le corps est en mouvement, ce qui évite le stress sur la colonne vertébrale et les articulations qu'occasionne une levée de poids soudaine à partir d’une position stationnaire. 1, record 18, French, - balancement%20lat%C3%A9ral
