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. They can also build strength, but not effectively.

Eccentric exercises are exactly that; they are slow, lengthening muscle contractions that are for a
specific muscle. For example, if you imagine slowly lowering yourself down to sit into a chair, the slow
motion of you going from a standing position to sitting is an eccentric contraction, or “negative”.

Concentric muscle contractions involve movements that shorten your muscles. In exercise, concentric
movements target muscles to perform action. The heavier the object is you're trying to lift or move,
the more strength that is generated.
