Isoinertial exercises are those that maintain a constant inertia = mass. A weight is placed on an extremity (arm or leg) and the extremity is put through a range or motion (or pattern of movement of that extremity). This range of motion can change direction but the force on the extremity doesn't change. An example of this is the yo-yo, it changes direction at the bottom, but the mass of the yo-yo stays the same. Isoinertial exercises strengthen both the muscle being targeted as well as the synergistic (helper) muscles as well. This type of exercise also helps to strengthen ligaments and tendons throughout the range of motion.
Isoinertial exercises are not to be confused with (although hard not to) isotonic exercises. Isotonic exercises have a constant muscle force which often involves a constant resistance such as a free weight (dumbbell etc.).
This is muscle flexion or isotonic contraction.
Changes in length and moves the "load"
iso-osmotic is different to isotonic even though they have the same number of solute particles as in the inside of red blood cells in isotonic solutions movement of water in and out of the cell is the same and RBC's remain unchaged, in iso-osmotic solutions RBC swell and burst this is because the semi permeable cell membrane cannot exclude iso-osmotic solutios as it can other solutes, causing a concentration gradient
taking place with normal contraction denoting or relating to a solution having the same osmotic pressure as some other solution, esp. one in a cell or a body fluid.
isotonic or isoosmotic
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
B. isotonic contraction
isotonic contraction!
It is called concentric isotonic contraction.
Eccentric contraction (isotonic)
Isotonic contraction
This is muscle flexion or isotonic contraction.

Isometrics can be given at different angles within a joint range whereas statics are given at beginning of range
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. :)
shortens while maintaining constant tension.
