isometrics
Tensing without moving
Isometrics is a form of strength training in which muscles contract against resistance without changing length—pushing against a wall, holding a plank, squeezing your hands together.
The exercises build strength without visible movement: She does isometrics at her desk.
The singular isometric describes this type of contraction or exercise.
