A 1995 study found that concentric-only training produced similar quadriceps hypertrophy to eccentric-only training, despite concentric training producing much higher metabolic stress, leading researchers to hypothesize metabolic stress was heavily involved in growth from concentric training while tension or damage caused growth from eccentric training.

“one of the papers found that concentric only training produce similar quadriceps hypertrophy to Eccentric only training concentric only training is known to produce much higher metabolic stress than eccentric only training so the authors hypothesized metabolic stress was heavily involved in producing the muscle growth seen by concentric only training”
