A muscle that stabilises one part of a body while another causes movement. 6 of 11 Muscle Contraction A muscle uses energy to create force (which is created by contracting) 7 of 11 Isotonic Contraction Muscular contraction which changes length during its contraction. 8 of 11 Isotonic Concentric Contraction Muscular contraction which shortens while producing tension. 9 of 11 Isotonic Eccentric Contraction Muscular contraction which lengthens while producing tension. 10 of 11 Isometric Contraction Muscular contraction which stays the same length while producing tension. 11 of 11
