Which of the following exercises strengthens muscles through a contraction that overcomes some fixed resistance produced by equipment such as dumbbells, barbells, various weight machines, or exercise tubing and uses isotonic contractions in which force is generated while the muscle is changing in length?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Progressive resistance exercises involve strengthening muscles through contractions that overcome a fixed resistance. This is typically achieved using equipment like dumbbells, barbells, weight machines, or exercise tubing. These exercises use isotonic contractions, where the muscle changes length (either shortens or lengthens) while generating force, which is a hallmark of progressive resistance training.
