Isometric contractions generate force without changing the length of the muscle. Force itself can be differentiated as either tension or load. Muscle tension is the force exerted by the muscle on an object whereas a load is a force exerted by an object on the muscle. When muscle tension changes without any corresponding changes in muscle length, the muscle contraction is described as isometric. An isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint. In other words, the joint is static; there is no lengthening or shortening of the muscle fibers and the limbs don't move. Examples:- Plank, wall sit, boat pose, etc. Isometric exercises have numerous benefits, a few are listed below:- 1. Used for rehabilitation This is an important aspect of isometric exercises because exercises that require joint movement can place a lot of stress on individual joints, especially over time with repeated usage thus isometric exercises serves the best option in this case for general strengthening without placing stress on the joints. 2. No equipment is needed They can be done anywhere with no equipment. 3. Helps in developing static muscle strength. Some sports require a high level of static muscle strength. Gymnastics, yoga, rock climbing, and downhill skiing, for example, all have static strength requirements. These exercises require a lot of strength, if not a lot of joint movement Related Videos Isotonic Contraction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq3oAQ7MlTk&t=25s Isometric Contraction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6fTJJMZwPs&t=329s33 Isokinetic Contraction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_JeHedUJ9w&t=60s Why do you suffer knee pain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_slL6jOYyWk&t=288s #isometric #typesofcontraction #curekneepain
