Which one of the following muscle actions would NOT be classified as an ISOTONIC contraction:
A

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of muscle contractions : Isometric and Isotonic. Here we can see pushing against a wall is not an example of isotonic contraction.

Detailed explanation-2: -In contrast to isotonic contractions, isometric contractions generate force without changing the length of the muscle, common in the muscles of the hand and forearm responsible for grip.

Detailed explanation-3: -isometric, isotonic. Pushing against a wall involves the muscle contracting in a way that doesn’t change the muscle’s length. This is known as an isometric contraction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of isotonic exercise include squats, stair climbing, bicep curls and push-ups. Supports quality of life by building range of motion muscles that help with activities of daily living. Little or no special equipment is required.

Detailed explanation-5: -Isometric contractions: The type of skeletal muscle contractions in which the length of the muscle remains constant but the pressure is increased. Example: Pushing against the wall.
