Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Trinity is trying with all his might to pull a tree stump out of the ground. It does not budge. Which type of contraction are his muscles undergoing?
A
simple contractions
B
Isotonic contractions
C
Isometric contractions
D
no contractions taking place
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Isometric contraction occurs when muscle length remains relatively constant as tension is produced. For example, during a biceps curl, holding the dumbbell in a constant/static position rather than actively raising or lowering it is an example of isometric contraction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Isotonic contractions are often associated with movement. Additional isotonic contraction examples include: The shortening of the trapezius muscle when shrugging. The lengthening and shortening of muscles in the lower body that occur during squat exercises.

Detailed explanation-3: -Isotonic contractions are those in which there is consistent tension as the muscle length changes. These can be either concentric (muscle shortening) or eccentric (muscle elongation). Isometric contractions are those in which the length of the muscle does not change.

Detailed explanation-4: -Isometric: A muscular contraction in which the length of the muscle does not change. isotonic: A muscular contraction in which the length of the muscle changes. eccentric: An isotonic contraction where the muscle lengthens. concentric: An isotonic contraction where the muscle shortens. 17-Jan-2023
