Isotonic Exercise.

Isotonic exercise is movement that requires muscles to resist

weight over a range of motion, causing a change to the length of the muscle.
We usually think of muscles shortening in isotonic exercise, as when you lift a
dumbbell for a bicep curl or rise into a sit-up

Is stretching isometric?
Isometric exercises are tightening (contractions) of a specific muscle or group
of muscles. During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn't noticeably change
length. The affected joint also doesn't move. Isometric exercises help maintain
strength.

Isometric contractions are contractions in which there is no change in the length of the
muscle. No joint or limb motion occurs. Isotonic contractions occur when the muscle
changes length, producing limb motion.
Isotonic muscle contraction produces limb movement without a change in muscle
tension, whereas isometric muscle contraction produces muscle tension without a
change in limb movement. Most physical activities involve a combination of both forms of
muscle contraction, although one form usually predominates.

What is an example of an isometric and isotonic contraction?

Isometric contraction: A muscle contracts, but the joint it controls does not move.
Think of holding a weight with your elbow bent to 90 degrees and does not
move. Isotonic contraction: A muscle contracts and the joint angle it controls
increases and decreases while the muscle either shortens or lengthens.

Soft tissues connect and support other tissues and surround the organs in the
body. They include muscles (including the heart), fat, blood vessels, nerves,
tendons, and tissues that surround the bones and joints.
tendon is a cord of strong, flexible tissue, similar to a rope. Tendons connect
your muscles to your bones. Tendons let us move our limbs. They also help prevent
muscle injury by absorbing some of the impact your muscles take when you run,
jump or do other movements. Your body contains thousands of tendons.
A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and usually
serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
What does fascia do? Fascia provides structure and support throughout your body. It holds
your muscles together, which allows them to contract and stretch. It provides a smooth
surface for your muscles, joints and organs to slide against each other without creating any
friction or tears

Fascia is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every

part of your body. It provides support to your muscles, tendons,
ligaments, tissues, organs, nerves, joints and bones. When your
fascia is healthy, it’s flexible and stretches with you. When your fascia
tightens up, it can restrict movement and cause painful health
conditions.
