Isotonic exercise - This is any activity when you put forth a muscular effort, or force, and they change in length as the muscles move. I.e., bicep curls, leg lifts, etc.
Isometric exercise- This is any activity when you are putting forth a muscular effort, but there is no visible change in length. I.e., pushing against a wall.
Isokinetic exercise- This is when you keep a steady rate through out a workout, but you are pushed to your maximum.
The overload principle - This is a principle that says in order to make the most impact, you have to exert more force and work much harder than your muscles are accustomed to.
The work/rest ratio - This is a ratio that tells you how much time you should spend working versus resting. This ratio varies.
