Isometric
give an example
muscle does not shorten and no movement occurs
Ex: Plank
Isotonic
muscle shortens and movement does occur
Example: Biceps Curl
Muscles can only as they “contract”
Muscles cannot
Can ONLY pull
CAN NOT PUSH
What kind of movers have major responsibility for causing a particular movement at a joint

Prime Movers - have major responsibility for causing a particular movement at a joint
