IN Exercise types
Muscle cONTRACTIONS
+info
Isometric coNTRACTIONS
These contractions occur when muscles generate force without changing length.
- Common in static exercises like planks or wall sits
- Rehabilitation: to strengthen muscles without joint movement
- Example: Pushing against an immovable object
Next
Isotonic contractions
It involves changing muscle length with consistent tension. Example: Lifting and lowering weightsUseful for strength training and functional movementsThere are 2 types
Eccentric
Muscle LengthensIn the study provided it suggestsEccentric contractions, especially when performed at slower speeds, tend to induce greater muscle hypertrophy compared to concentric contractions. Eccentric training places more tension on the muscles, which is thought to stimulate greater growth.
Concenetric
Muscle ShortensThe study found that concentric contractions result in higher muscle activation when measured through electromyography (EMG). This indicates that more motor units are recruited during the shortening phase, even though eccentric contractions tend to produce more force.

both are beneficial
Both eccentric and concentric contractions lead to strength gains, but eccentric contractions show a superior impact, particularly when performed at moderate and fast speeds. Eccentric training allows for greater force production since muscles can handle more weight during the lengthening phase. This research has important implications for athletes, bodybuilders, and rehabilitation programs where maximizing muscle growth and strength is a priority
Isokinetic
- Typically is performed using specialized equipment like Cybex or Biodex
- Ideal for rehabilitation because of controlled resistance
- Allows for full range of motion at a set speed regardless of force applied.
Maintain a constant speed throughout the movement
+info
- Isometric: Best for early stage rehab, no joint movement
- Isotonic: Ideal for strength and endurance, involves movement
- Isokinetic: Controlled speed, suitable for advanced rehabilitation
- Eccentric: Effective for tendon rehabilitation, controls load
