maintaining, or pertaining to, the same length; of equal dimensions. isometric contraction. muscle contraction without appreciable shortening or change in distance between its origin and insertion. isometric exercise. active exercise performed against stable resistance, without change in the length of the muscle.
Concentric contractions: A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction where the length of the muscles shorten while undergoing tension. For example, when you pick up a curl bar and perform a biceps curl, the length of your biceps muscles shorten.Your hands start down by your sides, and ends with your hands up by your shoulders.eight training therefore, involves concentric muscle movements, voluntary eccentric muscle movements, and occasionally, involuntary eccentric movements. Isometric contractions: An isometric contraction is a type of muscle contraction where the length of the muscle doesnât change while undergoing tension.
