Answer:

Isometric exercises are contractions of a particular muscle or group of muscles.

Step-by-step explanation:

During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn't noticeably change length, and the affected joint doesn't move.

The person holds the position, so the muscle is contracted but not moving visibly. Therefore it is an example of isometric exercise.
