The statement that isometric exercise occurs when force is exerted against an object that does not move is true. Isometric and isotonic exercise are two types of strength training. During isotonic exercise on the other hand muscles exert force to move an object.
Isometric exercises are the exercises that involves the contractions of a particular muscle and group of muscles. These exercises are performed in one position and applying force over a static object. These exercises are performed without any movement. These improve the strength of the body. These exercises are performed in the treatment of injuries, arthritis, and lowering blood pressure.
They are similar to animals because they can move and they are heterotrophs (heterotrophs are organisms that cannot manufacture their own food and instead get their food and energy by taking it from organic substances like plant matter).
