1. We can isometrically contract any skeletal muscle of our body. We can contract just one skeletal muscle of the body without contracting any other.
However, we should be masters of Original Meditation to be able to put the small muscles of the head into pure isometric contraction. These are muscles of face, muscles within the oral cavity, muscles in front of the neck, those around eye ball and those in the middle ear.
2. We can Isometrically contract and relax all the skeletal muscles of the body as a single unit.

What is the type of contraction in which the muscle fibers produce increased tension but does not shorten?
An isometric contraction builds tension but there is no joint movement.
what's an isometric contraction?
An isometric contraction is when the muscle does not shorten and no movement results.
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction
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 contraction in which the muscle fibers do not shorten are called?
If the muscle can not shorten because the muscle is trying to move a load that is greater than the force, then the contraction is isometric.
What type of muscle contraction will shorten a muscle and decrease the angle between two bones?
Concentric isometric contraction
Pushing against a locked door is an example of what type of a muscle contraction?
Isometric Contraction :]
A contraction in which there is no change in muscle length but there is a great increase in muscle tension is?
isometric contractions
A contraction in which a skeletal muscle does not shorten but its tension increases is called isometric?
An isometric contraction is the name given to a skeletal muscle that does not shorten, but increases tension. The muscles generate force to protect themselves.
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
What is it called when a muscle applies force without moving?
isometric contraction
What kind of muscle contraction is also referred to as static tension?
isometric
