Term
Physical Activity
Definition
any bodily movement produced by contracting skeletal muscles with concomitant increase in energy exposure
Term
muscle contractions can be categorized by:
Definition
static or isometric
Term
static or isometric contractions
Definition
produce no change in joint affected angle

muscle strength is only gained in one joint position not across a range of motion which limits the application of strength
Term
dynamic or isotonic
Definition
produces a change in the affected joint angle

squat, pull up

allows muscle strength gains to occur across the full range of motion.

can better mimic Activity or sport ( functional)
