What are the 3 types of muscle contractions? - ANSWER>>Isotonic=concentric=shortening eg.
bicep curl - mvmnt occurs when muscle contracts w/ enough force to shorten
Isotonic=eccentric-=lengthening-or relaxing- w/tension as a force is exerted, it lengthens eg.
"breaking a car"
Isometric=static contraction-force to counteract opposing force eg. plank
