another limb or body segment to exert force and move - Stabilizers
2. Shortening and/or lengthening of muscle fibers under varying degrees of tension –
Isotonic Contaction
3. Occurs when the muscle tissue is lengthened under tension. – Eccentric

change. - Isometric

joint action at a very slow speed against resistance. - Cocontraction
