Isotonic contractions are those which cause the muscle to change length as it contracts causing movement. There are two types of isotonic contraction: -. Concentric. A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction in which the muscles shorten while generating force.
Muscle contractions underlie movement. Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers. In physiology, muscle contraction does not necessarily mean muscle shortening because muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length such as holding a heavy book or a dumbbell at the same position.
