A muscle contraction where there is the same resistance provided throughout the range of movement.
Refers to a type of contraction where the speed of movement is fixed and the resistance varies in accordance with the muscular force exerted; see accomodative resistance.
A form of muscle contraction in which the tension created while the muscle shortens at constant speed, is consistent throughout the entire range of motion.
this refers to a muscle contraction in which the maximum tension is generated in the muscle as it contracts at a constant speed over the full range of motion of the joint.
literally meaning “same speed”; in weight training an isokinetic machine is used to control the speed of muscle contraction.
