Muscle contractions happen when muscle fibers are stimulated‚ which can cause one of many types of contractions. Isometric contractions‚ which means that tension happens in the muscle but there is no change in muscle length‚ therefore there is no movement of the muscle itself. An example of Isometric contractions would be strength training‚ such as holding a weight still‚ which happens in the biceps brachii. The biceps brachii the gets more tension‚ but the muscle length stays the same. As for isotonic

and unfamiliar exercise‚ particularly which involves eccentric muscle actions can cause muscle damage and lead to delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)‚ which may impair performance. This is due to the high force features of eccentric contraction (Starbuck & Eston‚ 2011). It can also cause muscle shortening‚ swelling and loss of strength in the muscles. Injuries commonly occur during eccentric loading of the muscle; that is‚ when the muscle is contracting while it is lengthening. (LaStayo‚ et al.‚ 2003)

When it comes to muscle contraction‚ contraction takes place in the muscle fibers. Muscle fibers are the basic building blocks of the muscle and what allow muscles to contract. They appear as long cylinder cells that contain several nuclei. Contraction happens when the muscle receive signals from the nervous system and the Neuromuscular Junction obtains the muscular exchange where the synaptic bulb and the muscle fibers connect. muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils‚ which contain contractile
