What is key variable in isometric contraction?
Muscle length is what doesn't change, so the variable would be the amount of force exerted on the muscle.
How is isometric exercise done?
During isometric exercises, muscles contract. However, there is no motion in the affected joints. The muscle fibers maintain a constant length throughout the entire contraction. The exercises are usually performed against an immovable.
Pushing against a locked door is an example of what type of a muscle contraction?
Isometric Contraction :]
The more moveable attachment point of a muscle is called the?
The origin is the "immovable" point of attachment of a muscle to a bone.
Which muscle attachment is usually fixed or immovable?
What is the Orgin of a muscle, and the moveable part is the insertion
What is static muscle contraction?
Contraction in which opposing muscles contract against each other and prevent movement. Fixation action of a muscle in a static contraction is termed isometric, because it develops tension without changing length.
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction
Where does the muscle attach to the bone?
Where a muscle attaches to a bone is at the origin and insertion points. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable) attachment point and the the insertion is the movable attachment point. During contraction the insertion moves towards the origin. HOW a muscle attaches to a bone is through tendons.
Constant contraction of a muscle is?
constant contraction of a muscle is called the muscle tone
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.
