    This principle is called the length–tension relationship. The reasons for it can be seen in figure 1.2. If a fiber is overly contracted at rest, its thick filaments are rather close to the Z discs. The stimulated muscle may contract a little, but then the thick filaments butt against the Z discs and can go no farther. The contraction is therefore a weak one. On the other hand, if a muscle fiber is too stretched before it is stimulated, there is relatively little overlap between its thick and thin filaments. When the muscle is stimulated, the myosin heads cannot “get a good grip” on the thin filaments, and again the contraction is…

    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 contractions, which means that tension is in the muscle while there is a change of length, can be split into two types: Concentric contraction, in which the tension causes the muscle to shorten, and eccentric, in which the tension causes the muscle to elongate.…
