Re: Muscle TensionIt should be isometric. Isotonic muscle contraction remain constant provided that the weight of the object you lift remains the same. While isometric contraction is characterize as contractions base on the sheer force and weight ...

Re:... contractions, a fixed resistance may not provide a sufficient workload over the complete range of motion to provide the maximum training benefits. Isometric contraction is usually done when the joint or position of the limb is held in a fixed angular position. The muscle develops tension but there ...
