Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isometric contractions occur when muscle fibers generate tension but do not change length. When trying to move a wall, the muscle fibers are generating tension but the wall is not being lifted or moved, resulting in an isometric contraction rather than an isotonic contraction where the muscle fibers change length.
