Would extending be an isotonic contraction?
No, extending a muscle is not considered an isotonic contraction. Isotonic contractions occur when a muscle changes length while maintaining a constant tension, such as during lifting or lowering a weight. In contrast, extending typically refers to the lengthening of a muscle under tension, which can occur during eccentric contractions, where the muscle lengthens while still generating force.
