1. isometric exercisenoun

   A system of exercise to strengthen specific muscles of the body by pushing parts of the body (such as the two hands) strongly against each other, or against a fixed object, so that the muscles are strongly stressed, but are stretched only a little. It is claimed to produce strength in the muscles thus exercised. Also called isometrics.

1. Isometric exercise

   An isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint. The term "isometric" combines the Greek words isos (equal) and -metria (measuring), meaning that in these exercises the length of the muscle and the angle of the joint do not change, though contraction strength may be varied. This is in contrast to isotonic contractions, in which the contraction strength does not change, though the muscle length and joint angle do. The three main types of isometric exercise are isometric presses, pulls, and holds. They may be included in a strength training regime in order to improve the body’s ability to apply power from a static position or, in the case of isometric holds, improve the body’s ability to maintain a position for a period of time. Considered as an action, isometric presses are also of fundamental importance to the body’s ability to prepare itself to perform immediately subsequent power movements. Such preparation is also known as isometric preload.

1. isometric exercise

   Isometric exercise is a type of strength training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction. This exercise is done in static positions, rather than being dynamic through a range of motion. The muscles are contracted but do not change length and the body does not move, such as pushing against a wall or holding a yoga pose. These exercises help maintain strength, develop stability, and can be beneficial for rehabilitation purposes.
