Study Notes
Muscle Contraction Types
- Concentric muscle contraction involves the ability of muscle to contract against load direction with shortening in muscle fibers.
- Eccentric muscle contraction produces lengthening in muscle fibers while contracting with the same direction of the load.
- Isometric muscle contraction involves constant (no change) in muscle length during contraction.
- Isotonic muscle contraction involves less tension than isometric contraction.
- Isotonic muscle contraction with higher tension is a type of muscle contraction that involves more tension than isometric contraction.
