Exercises that increase muscle tension by applying pressure against stable resistance, as in pressing hands together; also called isometrics.<\/p>\n
A system of exercises based on the principle of isometric contraction of muscles. This occurs when the fibers are called upon to contract and do work, but despite an increase in tension do not shorten in length. It can be induced in muscles that are used when a limb is made to pull or push against something that does not move. The exercises increase fitness and build muscle.<\/p>\n
Contraction and relaxation of a skeletal muscle or group of muscles in which the force generated by the muscle is equal to the resistance. There is no change in muscle length, and no movement results.<\/p>\n
Exercise in which muscles contract but very little body movement takes place.<\/p>\n
Muscular strength and endurance exercises during which muscles exert force against an immovable object.<\/p>\n
