can someone explain the isometric contraction

1 Comment

Isometric contraction is defined as a contraction that is not associated with any movement. ... Assessment of the nature of isometric contraction in terms of its causative force is difficult because no displacement occurs except within the muscle itself and at a microscopic level.
