keeping same tension but moving the parts of the body so your muscles can change their lenght

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
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. :)
In an isotonic contraction the muscle?
shortens while maintaining constant tension.
