Sport science (contractions)

Sorry if i am posting this in the wrong place

Sport science help needed

During the upward phase of a press up, the agonist is the tricep
This is a concentric contraction

In the downward phase of the press up, the bicep is the agonist
The tricep is lengthening under tension in what is called an eccentric contraction.

Thanks in advance
