A bicep curl is an isotonic exercise.
If it is a true and false question your answer is: False :)Only if done on an isokinetics machine otherwise it would be isotonic
Isotonic exercise (or muscle contraction) is when the muscle contracts and shortens giving movement (ie a bicep curl, lifting and lowering weight) Nearly all the training you do is Isotonic the opposite is Isometric, where the muscle contracts but des not shorten, giving no movement. Eg, Weightlifting, Lifting the weight up and down is isotonic Holding the weight still above the head is isometric
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. :)
During a cross body bicep curl exercise, the biceps brachii muscle is primarily worked.
yes and no
Curl (bicep exercise).
A bicep curl would be considered a dynamic exercise.
The average weight individuals typically lift during a bicep curl exercise is around 10 to 15 kilograms.
An example of an isotonic exercise is a bicep curl, where a person lifts a weight by flexing their elbow, causing the muscle to shorten and lengthen throughout the movement. This type of exercise involves a constant load and allows for muscle contraction against resistance, which helps build strength and endurance. Other examples include squats and bench presses.
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.
Performing a bicep curl exercise can feel like a tightening or squeezing sensation in your bicep muscle. When you experience the contraction in your forearm muscles, it may feel like a strong, tense sensation as those muscles work to support the movement.
An example of a concentric exercise is a bicep curl, where you lift a weight towards your shoulder. This exercise benefits the muscles by primarily targeting the bicep muscle, helping to strengthen and tone it.
