The three types of muscle contraction that will be discussed in this report are isotonic, isometric and isokinetic contraction. Isometric contraction is also known as static contraction and provides the most benefits to immobilized individuals who are currently in rehab due largely to the fact that it involves the strengthening of the muscle with apply force to the joint. Isometric contraction involves the muscle generating force however there is no change in the angle of the joint. As a result the maximum benefit is achieved only at the joint that is being trained. One example of isometric exercise is the core stability test, where forced will be applied to the muscles; however the angle of the joint does not change during the exercise.
