Homonym: isometric (Exercise)
Isometric refers to a type of measurement or representation where dimensions remain constant, regardless of the viewpoint. In geometry, isometric drawings maintain the scale and proportions of an object, allowing it to be viewed from multiple angles without distortion. This technique is often used in technical illustrations and video game design to create a three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional surface.
In fitness, isometric exercises involve muscle contractions without any visible movement in the joints. Examples include holding a plank position or pressing against an immovable object. These exercises help build strength and endurance by engaging muscles while maintaining a static position, making them effective for various training routines.
