1
New cards

isotonic contractions

muscle length =changes

muscle tension =constant

2
New cards

2 types of isotonic contraction

concentric, eccentric

3
New cards

concentric contraction

tension iis greater than the resistance, muscle shortens towards the center

4
New cards

eccentric contraction

tension is less than the resistance, muscle fibers are provide tension, muscle lengthens

5
New cards

isometric contraction

muscle length =constant

muscle tension = changes
