Anti-G Straining Maneuver (AGSM)... A method for raising blood pressure and total peripheral resistance in order to increase tolerance to +Gz [positive gravitational force] acceleration by voluntary isometric contraction of the skeletal muscles of the limbs and abdomen while simultaneously exhaling against a closed or partially closed glottis to raise the intrathoracic and blood pressure.  2, record 1, English, - anti%2DG%20straining%20manoeuvre

[...] des recherches sur les effets physiologiques de la force d’accélération se sont traduites par la mise au point d’une combinaison anti-G et d’une combinaison d’exercices de contraction anti-G [...] Ces exercices comprennent une contraction isométrique des muscles et des exercices de régulation de la respiration.

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 6, English, - eccentric%20contraction

Les muscles peuvent encore exercer de la force lors d’une contraction avec allongement du muscle. Ce mouvement est appelé contraction excentrique [...] Pour l'illustrer, citons l'action du muscle biceps brachial, lorsque le coude s’étend pour poser un poids très lourd.
