MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Isometric contractions are contractions in which there is no change in the length of the muscle. No joint or limb motion occurs. Isotonic contractions occur when the muscle changes length, producing limb motion. Concentric contractions occur when the muscle shortens.

Detailed explanation-2: -An isometric contraction generates force without changing the length of the muscle, and no mechanical work is done since the muscle does not shorten. However, this type of contraction requires high amounts of energy because of the force generated by the muscle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Isometric exercises are tightening (contractions) of a specific muscle or group of muscles. During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn’t noticeably change length. The affected joint also doesn’t move. Isometric exercises help maintain strength.

Detailed explanation-4: -During isometric muscle contraction the length of muscle does not change while muscle exert force . This type of movement can be seen while a person performs a maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs). Eccentric exercises increasing the concentric and isometric contraction as well.

Detailed explanation-5: -Isotonic means “same tension” (the weight on your muscles stays constant) while isometric means “same length” (your muscles do not get longer or shorter). It’s also important to know that you have the ability to make certain moves isotonic or isometric depending on your goals.
