Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a health promotion class about isotonic exercises. Which types of exercises will the nurse give as examples?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Swimming, jogging, and bicycling are examples of isotonic exercises. Isotonic exercises involve constant muscle tension while the length of the muscle changes, such as when swimming, jogging, or bicycling. These activities help improve strength, endurance, and overall fitness. Quadriceps set exercises (
A) and contraction of the gluteal muscles are examples of isometric exercises, where muscle tension is generated without changing muscle length. Tightening or tensing of muscles without moving body parts (
C) describes isometric exercises, not isotonic. Push-ups, hip lifting, pushing feet against a footboard on the bed (
D) are examples of isotonic exercises.
