Question

The most common type of muscle contraction encountered with most exercises is ________, meaning the contraction proceeds at a consistent muscle tension while the body part moves through its range of motion.

Answer 1

The most common type of muscle contraction encountered with most exercises is isotonic, meaning the contraction proceeds at a consistent muscle tension while the body part moves through its range of motion. This contraction results in the muscle shortening.
The muscle contracts and as a result it changes its length (it is shortened) and this causes movement of a body part.
