Isometric Muscle Contraction: A type of muscle contraction in which activation of motor units and the production of force does not result in joint motion or a change in muscle length. This occurs when ...

Isometric training involves muscle contractions that generate force without joint movement. The harder the contraction, the more forceful the muscle becomes. Exercise is great for improving heart ...

We have used an isometric force transducer to study contraction of two types of nonmuscle cells in tissue culture. This method permits the quantitative measurement of contractile force generated by ...
