isotonic exercise

Isotonic exercise involves movement where your muscles change length while contracting, producing joint motion. Examples include activities like lifting weights, running, or swimming. During these exercises, muscles shorten (concentric contraction) to generate force or lengthen (eccentric contraction) when controlling movement. This type of exercise helps improve muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, making daily activities easier and supporting overall fitness. It’s a common and effective way to build muscle tone and enhance joint function.
