i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- Static and Dynamic i,- i,-
Static Contraction
i,- i,-i,- i,- Isometric Contraction i,-
No visible change in muscle length or joint movement. Effect is to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
counterbalance.
Dynamic Contraction i,- i,-i,- i,- Isotonic Contraction i,-
Muscle length changes and joint movement is visible. Can be
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
concentric or eccentric. i,- i,-
Concentric Muscle Contraction Type of dynamic contraction.
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
where angle of movement gets smaller. Ie: beginning of chest lift.

Eccentric Muscle Contraction Type of dynamic contraction
i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
where angle of movement increases. Ie: end of chest lift before
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-

,Agonist i,-i,- i,- Mover muscle. i,-
Antagonist i,-i,- i,- Directly opposes the agonist, often this muscle

neutralize undesired secondary action of mover. Assists in
