What kind of contraction does not change the length of the muscle in isometric training?

  1. Static

  2. Dynamic

  3. Eccentric

  4. Concentric

The correct answer is: Static

Isometric training involves contracting your muscles without changing their length. This means that muscles are activated, but there is no movement or change in joint angle. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all involve some sort of movement or change in muscle length. Option A (static) is the only one that describes a type of contraction in which there is no change in muscle length.
