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.
