Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The differences between isometric and isotonic contraction, and between the concentric and eccentric forms of isotonic contraction.

Introduction:

Muscles are comprised of the many individual fibers, once this fiber are stirred the muscle. Muscular contractions are either isometric, within which the muscle does not amendment its length, or isotonic, within which the muscle changes its length while not increasing tension.
