What Is Isometric Contraction?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    There is isometric and isotonic contractions with muscles.  Isometric is when you are contracting a muscle and there is movement like doing a bicep curl.  Isotonic is when you contract muscle and there is no movement.  I guess putting your hands on a wall and pushing could be an example.  Many yoga postures could be considered isotonic.

    Actually it is the other way around. Isometric contraction would be when the muscles contract but do not change length, like pushing on wall. Isotonic is doing bicep curls.
