What's the difference between isotonic and isometric muscle contractions? Find out in this week's video. Watch all of our anatomy videos at: humanatomy.ca
Thank you very much. I finally understand what does it mean by "Muscles are contracting but there is no movement". Great video. Explained those two terms in a very simple way.
Thank you Paula for a very clear and simple explanation. It is true, as you say, that in yoga all the asanas (poses) are physically static (isometric). However, the isotonic principles are used in yoga in the many transitions between postures.
I've been watching a few videos, from a lot of educational backgrounds and this is the only explanation that uses terms that are both educational and easy to understand. You are a great one. You can make something really complicated simple to understand. I appreciate you
Bless you for putting these videos together. I had two wonderful teachers for A&P1 and 2 but 3 is the toughest round of information, with the least engaging teacher. You clearly have a gift for teaching!
Wow I had been struggling with understanding this concept (for whatever reason - one of those things you just can't seem to grasp) Your video REALLY simplified it though! Thank you so much. :)
This was so helpful! Thank you very much for taking the time to share this video. It's one thing to read the words over and over again in a textbook; then to see it visually is what made it click! Thanks!! :)
As a biology undergrad and an international student who doesn't speak fluent English, I want to say a big thank you to you ! I am watching this right before my physiology exam. THANK YOU Paula !
I am so happy that I found your TH-cam page!! I am study personal training and nutrition and your videos make everything so much easier to understand! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
