Isotonic exercise: builds strength and endurance by the person"s moving a heavy object, exerting most of the muscle force in one direction. Isometric exercise: builds mainly strength as the person exerts muscle force against an immovable object. Isokinetic exercise: builds strength and endurance as the person exerts muscle force to move an object in more than one direction. Aerobic exercise: energetic physical activity that requires high levels of oxygen over an extended time such as jogging, bicycling, or swimming. An ideal exercise program: warm up, aerobics, and cool down. Those who are physically active have higher physical function years later.
