The following information is about Isotonic Exercise.

Isotonic Exercise Defined

Isotonic exercise is practiced by lifting weights. This type of training does in fact change the length of the muscle. As contrasted to isometric exercise, where maximum muscular contractions are possible throughout the exercise, in isotonic exercise resistance during the entire lift is not consistent. There is an easy part of the lift and a hard part of the lift. The hard part “sticking point” is the weakest spot in the range of motion where the weakest muscle or joint angles come into play. For example, when you are doing a barbell curl, when the bar is down by your waist, this would be the sticking point of the movement. As you bring the bar up, the resistance weakens as momentum takes over. So the resistance is different throughout the exercise.
