Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isometric exercises involve contracting the muscle without movement, so the correct instruction would be to contract the muscle for several seconds, then relax for a few seconds, and repeat. B and C refer to full range-of-motion exercises, not isometric exercises. D describes a wall push-up, which is not necessarily an isometric exercise.
