Types of Muscle Contractions
There are two types of muscle contractions: isotonic contractions & isometric contractions.
During isotonic contractions, muscle fibers slide past each other, shortening the length of the muscle. While the length of the muscle changes, the tone remains the same.
During isometric contractions, the tension in the muscle increases while the length of the muscle remains the same.
