What is Isotonic Exercise in a SIMPLE description?
Isotonic exercise (or muscle contraction) is when the muscle contracts and shortens giving movement (ie a bicep curl, lifting and lowering weight) Nearly all the training you do is Isotonic the opposite is Isometric, where the muscle contracts but des not shorten, giving no movement. Eg, Weightlifting, Lifting the weight up and down is isotonic Holding the weight still above the head is isometric

How do you do an isometric contraction?
An isometric contraction is when a muscle contracts but there is no visible movement in the joint. To perform an isometric contraction, simply tighten the muscle without changing its length. For example, to do an isometric bicep curl, hold a dumbbell at 90 degrees and tighten your bicep muscle without moving the weight.
What types of exercises are there?
Isotonic and Isometric exercise are the two types of the exercises. In Isotonic exercise you do not use the load or weight. You can use the antagonist muscle contractions in Isotonic muscle exercises. In isometric exercises you use the weight or load to develop the muscles. You know the term, metric tone. So in Isometric exercise you lift the weight.
How is isokinetic exercise done?
Isokinetic exercise utilizes machines that control the speed of contraction within the range of motion. Isokinetic exercise attempts to combine the best features of both isometrics and weight training.
Do isometric exercises burn a lot of calories?
Isometric exercise will not burn very many calories. While it does burn some, it is a strength training exercise, whereas something like sit ups or running burns calories.
What are isometric?
What is isometric exexrcises
What is the type of contraction in which the muscle fibers produce increased tension but does not shorten?
An isometric contraction builds tension but there is no joint movement.
What is isometric line?
A line that is isometric
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction. This type of contraction occurs when the muscle generates tension without changing its length, such as when holding a weight in a fixed position.
Where can I get weight training?
For free weight training I would look in to http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_articles.asp?id=1033. It is a very informative article that discusses the benefits of weight training and gives you tips on weight training.
