contractions
Isometric muscle contractions happen when the muscle stays the same length, concentric contractions occur when the muscle shortens, and eccentric contractions occur when the muscle lengthens.
False
Effect of isometric contractions is much greater as compared to isotonic contractions, when it comes to developing your muscles. But isotonic contractions have there own advantages. You do not have to go to gym and there are no chances that you will injure the muscle cells leading to cell death.
Isotonic contractions involve a change in muscle length and joint movement, while isometric contractions do not result in joint movement or change in muscle length. Isotonic contractions are further classified into concentric (muscle shortens) and eccentric (muscle lengthens) contractions. Isometric contractions involve the muscle producing tension without changing its length.
No. Worse: it just makes you stay where you are!

isometric contractions
Low-intensity isometric contractions performed against little to no resistance.
Maintaining an upright posture involves isometric contractions of various muscles, particularly those in the core and lower back. Isometric contractions occur when muscles engage to stabilize a position without changing length, which helps keep the body upright against gravity. While other types of muscle contractions may also be involved in dynamic movements, the act of holding a posture itself relies heavily on isometric actions.
Isotonic and Isometric Contractions
Isotonic, Isometric and Isokinetic Exercises are Various types of muscle contractions are helpful in improving performance and health.
An Isotonic muscle contraction is a muscle contraction that makes your limbs move whereas an Isometric contraction is a muscle contraction where the limbs stay static
