An Isotonic contraction is when a muscle becomes longer or shorter to produce force and therefore an example is a bicep curl. During the downward phase your muscle (bicep) lengthens and during the upward phase your muscle (bicep) shortens.

Pushing the feet against the floor is an example of a?
Isometric and Isotonic Contraction
Walking is an example of which type of contraction?
Walking is an example of isotonic type of contraction. These are contractions which will force the length of the muscle to change and cause movement.
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
What type of muscle contraction is involved in warming up?
isotonic contraction!
A contraction in which the muscle shortens and work is done?
B. isotonic contraction
What contraction that shortens the muscle but does not increase tension is called?
It is called concentric isotonic contraction.
The muscle decreases in muscle length during contraction but tension is the same?
Isotonic contraction
A contraction in which a muscle exerts force lengthens and is overcome by a resistance?
Eccentric contraction (isotonic)
What is a contraction in which the muscle shorten and work is done?
This is muscle flexion or isotonic contraction.
In an isotonic contraction the muscle does what?
Changes in length and moves the "load"
What is A contraction in which the muscle changes in length with the same tension applied to it?
Isotonic ContractionIsotonic Contraction
How do isometric and isotonic muscles differ?
Isometrics can be given at different angles within a joint range whereas statics are given at beginning of range
