There are three main types of muscular strength: isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic.
- Isotonic strength involves moving a weight through a range of motion, like lifting a dumbbell.
- Isometric strength is when muscles contract without movement, like holding a plank position.
- Isokinetic strength involves moving a limb at a constant speed against a resistance, often using specialized equipment.
These types differ in how the muscles contract and the type of movement involved.
