Isometric Contraction vs Isotonic Contraction:
In isometric contraction, length of the muscle remains constant. They help maintain stable position. In isotonic contraction, the muscle shortens, but the tension remains constant throughout the contraction. They are responsible for most movements. Many physical activities involves combination of both.

Oh god how did he made 2 whole pages into a video Thank

[moniquea]

I was so confused by other videos. Thank you, the push up example was the best

[lindsay]

Quick and easy! Thanks for making it straight to the point.🙂

[amashagunarathne]

Can you make a video about graphs related to this topic????❤❤❤

[lananhnguyen]

Another great video. I have quick question: for the dumbbell example, when the biceps maintain it at a certain position, since the weight remains the same, can it be both isometric and isotonic?

[rawanmohamed]

quick question, why does the tension in isometric contraction increases while in isotonic it’s constant

[VgvtFcfcrc]

Where are the notes there not on the website

[harishshankar]

Requesting 😢 can you give a video about ECG

1:25 actually not all parts of your torso contracts isometrically during pushups. Your pectoralis major (chest in other words) contracts in an isotonic manner as it stretches repetition, the very reason why pushup is a good exercise for your pecs.
