C
Isotonic contraction
D
Concentric contraction
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the different types of muscle contractions: Isometric, Isotonic, Concentric, and Eccentric.
Isometric contraction occurs when the muscle length does not change, even though tension is developed.
Isotonic contraction involves a change in muscle length while maintaining constant tension. It can be further divided into concentric and eccentric contractions.
Concentric contraction is a type of isotonic contraction where the muscle shortens as it maintains tension.
Eccentric contraction is another type of isotonic contraction where the muscle lengthens while maintaining tension.
