How do isotonic and isometric contraction differ?
In isotonic energy, 70% of the energy exerted is given off as heat energy. In isometric contraction, only 30% of the energy given off is exerted as heat energy.
Is the effect greater for isometric or isotonic contractions?
Effect of isometric contractions is much greater as compared to isotonic contractions, when it comes to developing your muscles. But isotonic contractions have there own advantages. You do not have to go to gym and there are no chances that you will injure the muscle cells leading to cell death.
What types of exercises are there?
Isotonic and Isometric exercise are the two types of the exercises. In Isotonic exercise you do not use the load or weight. You can use the antagonist muscle contractions in Isotonic muscle exercises. In isometric exercises you use the weight or load to develop the muscles. You know the term, metric tone. So in Isometric exercise you lift the weight.

What is the difference between isotonic and isometric exercise?
Isometric exercises are exercises that are done statically, meaning there is no range of motion while training. The muscles are engaged against a resistance, but do not move. Examples of isometric exercises: The plank for abs, wall sits (sitting against a wall and holding the position), calf raises in which you remain static at the top of the lift. Isotonic exercises cause muscles to contract or extend while engaging resistance. This includes bicep curls, push ups, squats, and most other exercises.
