Isometric contractions involve the muscle generating tension without changing its length, often used in strength training exercises.

Motor Units

A single motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates, functioning as the basic functional unit in muscle contraction.

Muscle Twitches

Involuntary, fine movements of a small area of muscle, often caused by stress, fatigue, or mineral imbalances.
