What is a contraction in which the muscle shorten and work is done?
This is muscle flexion or isotonic contraction.
What is an Isotonic Contractions?
Isotonic contractions. This happens when the muscle shortens as it contracts
What is a concentric contraction?
concentric contraction is atype of muscle contraction which the muscle shortens while genrating aforce The muscle shortens to produce movement. A muscle contraction in which shortening occurs.
What factors affect muscle contraction?
the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
True or false When the contraction of a skeletal muscle is studied in the laboratory by applying an electrical charge to the muscle the contraction is called a muscle twitch.?
true
What is the difference between isotonic and isometric contractions?
An Isotonic muscle contraction is a muscle contraction that makes your limbs move whereas an Isometric contraction is a muscle contraction where the limbs stay static
The muscle decreases in muscle length during contraction but tension is the same?
Isotonic contraction
What is a contraction in which the muscle shorten and work is done?
This is muscle flexion or isotonic contraction.
A contraction in which the muscle shortens and work is done?
B. isotonic contraction
What type of muscle contraction is involved in warming up?
isotonic contraction!
Is concentric isotonic contraction is defined as tension developing in the muscle as it shorten?
That is correct, the muscle shortens as it contracts. E.g. A bicep curl, the bicep muscle as you lift the wight up is Isotonic contraction. :)
What contraction that shortens the muscle but does not increase tension is called?
It is called concentric isotonic contraction.
A contraction in which a muscle exerts force lengthens and is overcome by a resistance?
Eccentric contraction (isotonic)
A contraction that causes a muscle to lengthen rather than shorten is called?
An eccentric contraction is one that causes a muscle to lengthen.
What is an Activity that combines muscle contraction with repeated movement?
An activity that combines muscle contraction with repeated movement is Isotonic execrise
In an isotonic contraction the muscle?
shortens while maintaining constant tension.
Does muscle tension remain constant during isotonic contraction?
Yes.
