:
isotónico
- Strength training should consist of isotonic exercises, as this promotes joint mobility.
- isometric and isotonic
Examples
-
The EMG signal is segmenting into shorter epochs (e.g., 0.5 s - 1 s) where, for static isotonic contractions, the processes may be considered stationary.
Academic text (1997) -
The maximum possible velocity of 100 degrees/s of the dynamometer diminished the non-isokinetic portions of the isotonic exertions, thereby eliminating their usefulness.
Academic text (1997) -
Three modes of strength testing were used: isometric, isokinetic, and isotonic (4, 26).
Academic text (1997) -
The isotonic mode simulated by the dynamometer can best be called isoresistive: the dynamometer provides the resistance set by the experimenter.
Academic text (1997) -
These measurements were taken from isometric length-tension, isotonic load-excursion, and force-velocity relationships found for the cineplastized muscle of each subject (25).
Academic text (2001) -
The trials were randomized for the isometric, isokinetic, and isotonic modes of exertion to minimize unintended fatigue and order effects.
Academic text (1997) -
LeFort et al. provided a combination of water-based aerobic exercises with isotonic loading for all major muscle groups, including the trunk flexors and extensors, for 8 weeks.
Academic text (1997) -
Burkhead and Rockwood (1992) suggested a specific muscle-strengthening exercise program for the treatment of shoulder instability that consisted of isotonic rotator cuff strengthening.
Academic text (2003) -
Many athletes incorporate isotonic exercises into their training regimens to improve muscle strength while maintaining joint flexibility.
-
Physical therapists often recommend isotonic exercises for rehabilitation, as they help strengthen muscles without risking injury.

Etymology
Isotonic comes from Greek parts iso- meaning 'equal' and tonos meaning 'tone' or 'tension', a sense you find in the word tone. So an isotonic muscle contraction keeps a steady 'tone' while the muscle shortens or lengthens, which is what happens when you lift a weight.
