Summary Introduction
To review:
The definitions of concentric isotonic, eccentric isotonic, and isometric contractions.
Introduction:
Isotonic contractions basically bring about changes in the muscle length and also cause movement of the body parts. There are two kinds of isotonic contractions- concentric isotonic contraction and eccentric isotonic contraction.
