Looking form the out side the two bones to which the Muscle is attached moves closer when the muscle is contracting concentrically while they do not when muscle is contracting eccentrically
The noun for muscle shortening is called contraction.
Contraction is the medical term meaning the normal shortening or tightening of a muscle.
Yes
The phase between the stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle is called the latent phase or latent period. During this phase, the muscle is receiving the signal to contract, but actual muscle shortening has not yet occurred. This period is important for the muscle fibers to prepare and generate enough force for contraction.
It represents contracting or shortening of a muscle.

contraction
contract or "contraction" is when a muscle fiber lengthens or shortens
The relationship between the load attached to skeletal muscle and the initial velocity of skeletal muscle shortening is inverse. As the load increases, the initial velocity of muscle shortening decreases. This is due to the increased force required to move a heavier load.
Inn other words muscle flexing can be called muscle shortening and extension when muscle is elongating. For example when you bend you arm towards your shoulder your bicep muscle is shortening and you can feel a bump. When you extend your arm you can feel that the bump is stretching out and disappearing, that is muscle extension.
Skeletal muscle tissue is striated muscle tissue connected to bones.
