Introduction In an isotonic contraction, tension remains the same, whilst the muscle’s length changes. Isotonic contractions differ from isokinetic contractions in that in isokinetic contractions the muscle speed remains constant. While superficially identical, as the muscle’s force changes via the length-tension relationship during a contraction, an isotonic contraction will keep force constant…

Stretching: Active Static Stretch Good way of starting out exercising for the first time or warming up muscles prior ot exercise.

Position A                                               Position B

Last blog discussed one of two different types of static stretching which is the passive type. The second variety is called active. In this method, you position which ever part of the body you’re stretching at its end range of motion and hold it at that location without moving the joint.  Hence the term static (being still).…
