ISOTONIC
What is isotonic strength?

Isotonic exercise is movement that requires muscles to resist weight over a range of
motion, causing a change to the length of the muscle. ... We usually think of muscles
shortening in isotonic exercise, as when Image result for definition of isotonic strength
Isotonic means "same tension" so that the weight on your muscles stays the same.
Isotonic exercise: Exercise when a contracting muscle shortens against a constant load,
as when lifting a weight. Isotonic exercise is one method of muscular exercise. In
contrast, isometric exercise is when muscular contractions
What is an example of an isotonic exercise?
Aerobic exercises like walking, running, hiking, swimming, skiing, and dancing are all
considered isotonic exercise. So are resistance training exercises that involve
movement, such as squats, pushups, pull ups, bench presses, deadlifts, and bicep curls.
occur without movement of the involved parts of the body.
ISOMETRIC
An isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle
without any visible movement in the angle of the joint. The term "isometric" combines
the Greek words "Isos" (equal) and "met ria" (measuring), meaning that in these
exercises the length of the muscle and the angle of the joint do not change, though
contraction strength may be varied.[1] This is in contrast to isotonic contractions, in
which the contraction strength does not change, though the muscle length and joint
angle do.
The three main types of isometric exercise are isometric presses, pulls, and holds. They
may be included in a strength training regime in order to improve the body’s ability to
apply power from a static position or, in the case of isometric holds, improve the body’s
ability to maintain a position for a period of time. Considered as an action, isometric
presses are also of fundamental importance to the body’s ability to prepare itself to
perform immediately subsequent power movements. Such preparation is also known as
isometric preload.
What is an example of an isometric exercise?
Isometric exercise is also known as static strength training. Examples include the plank
and side bridge as well as the wall sit and many yoga poses such as chair and tree
poses. Notice that these are all exercises that involve holding a position rather than
moving as is the case with isotonic exercise.
ISOKINETIC
Isokinetic exercise
refers to movement at a constant speed regardless of the force applied. Muscles contract and
shorten at a constant speed in isokinetic contraction. Isokinetic exercise allows muscles to
gain strength consistently all through the range of movement.
What is an isokinetic exercise?

Isokinetic training is a type of exercise training that uses a special machine.
The exercise machine creates different levels of resistance. That way, your
movements are at a constant speed, no matter how much force you apply.
Whatever your strength level is, the machine can always match the amount of
force you apply.
Isokinetic
Exercises are strength training workouts, which make you work at a constant pace or consistent
weight at a range of motion.
Most Isokinetic Exercises use specialized equipment, or dynamometer, which controls the
amount of strength you exert. The stationary cycle is a basic example.
However, some isokinetic exercises use bodyweight or other lightweights but need to be worked
manually at a constant pace.
Isokinetic exercises are mostly used for recovery and physical therapy.
What happens during Isokinetic Exercises?
During the isokinetic exercise, the specialized equipment puts you on a controlled and constant
speed.
The strength gained from Isometric exercises is dependent on the specialized equipment. You
can set the speed or weight yourself, but the motion remains consistent.
One example of an isokinetic exercise is a stationary bike that responds to a constant leg movement by
the user. The resistance offered by the stationary bike may vary, while the speed of limb motion and
subsequent revolutions per minute stays the same.
