Question 7

What is isometric?

Answer 7

A muscle contraction that doesn’t create movement.

Question 8

What is isotonic?

Answer 8

A muscle contraction that creates movement.
It can be concentric - when muscles shorten as fibres contact to create movement.
Or eccentric - when the fibres contract and muscles lengthen to create movement.

Question 9
