The right answer is isometric

The word isometric is an adjective of Greek origin (the prefix iso- means equal and metric means metron means measure)

Isometric force is a muscular contraction without shortening where the two points of attachment of the muscle are fixed, contrary to the concentric and eccentric work. A muscle subject to isometric contraction is a muscle that works in tension but without movement.
