Question

If Sally performs an isometric exercise, she is doing _____.

Answer 1

An exercise without movement

Answer 2

Answer:

an exercise without movement

Explanation:

Isometric exercises consist of subjecting the muscle to tension without performing movement. This type of exercise can be done with or without weight, since in most isometric exercises with the proper use of our body is more than enough. In addition, when using the body itself we can carry it out anywhere without having to go to a gym or training center to practice this activity.

The active isometrics are those in which we exert force on something and do not simply maintain a specific posture. For example, place ourselves on a wall and push, grab something that is anchored in the ground. These types of isometrics are more recommended for people seeking muscle hypertrophy.

On the other hand we have passive isometrics. These types of exercises are those in which we simply hold a weight or maintain a position without making another movement in this regard. This type of exercise is not so focused on muscle growth, but more on toning and increase blood flow in the worked part.

We must not forget that after all the training with isometric exercises what you are looking for is a different job from the muscles of the cuepro and the different parts that compose them. In this case we will also highlight the tendons, which in this case will be affected in a positive way.
