In an isotonic contraction of the muscle________________?

Correct answer: A. The muscle moves a load through a distance

  • A. The muscle moves a load through a distance
  • B. The muscle is not able to move the load
  • C. The latent period of contraction is shorter than isometric contraction
  • D. The length of muscle is increased

Explanation

During isotonic contraction, muscle tension is sufficient to move a load while the muscle length changes, so the load moves through a distance. In isometric contraction, tension develops without shortening or movement of the load.
