What will be an ideal response?
Isotonic or dynamic contractions are contractions that result in movement of a body part. Isometric contractions
involve the development of force but result in no movement of body parts. Concentric contractions are isotonic
muscle contractions involving muscle shortening. In contrast, eccentric contractions (also called negative
contractions) are defined as isotonic contractions in which the muscle exerts force while lengthening.
