A muscle contraction where the muscle fibres are shortening.
When a muscle overcomes resistance causing the muscle to shorten and the joint angle to be reduced.
An isotonic muscle contraction, where a muscle contracts or shortens.
A contraction where the muscle shortens, such as in a bicep curl. There is movement in the joint (here, elbow) so it is called a dynamic action.
A contraction in which the muscle shortens and works against gravity.
Muscular action where muscle fibers shorten during exertion. Opposite of eccentric contraction.
