In isotonic contractions, the tension in the muscle remains constant while the muscle changes in length. Examples of this include:

  1. Quadriceps

  2. Biceps brachii

  3. Rectus femoris

  4. Gastrocnemius

  5. Gluteus maximus

 

On the other hand, isometric contractions do not result in body movement and generate force without changing the length of the muscle. Examples of this include:

  1. Pectoralis major

  2. Rectus abdominis

  3. Latissimus dorsi

  4. Deltoid

  5. Trapezius
