List the 4 types of contraction: - answer-1) isometric
2) isokinetic
3) isotonic - eccentric
4) isotonic - concentric
Isotonic - answer-Where the load on the muscle is less than the
generated tension, resulting in movement
Isokinetic - answer-Where the muscle contracts and shortens at a
constant rate of speed
Isometric - answer-Where the load on the muscle is greater than the
generated tension, no movement takes place
Eccentric - answer-Referred to by the increase in the length of the
muscle during isotonic contraction; the "negative" part of the
contraction
