Exercise that requires the contraction of muscles and the movement of joints, as in weight lifting.

Muscle Endurance

The ability of a muscle or muscle group to repeatedly exert force against resistance over an extended period.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Isotonic exercise involves the use of weights or resistance to increase muscle strength and endurance. As a result, it can improve both muscle endurance and muscle strength. While isotonic exercise may also have some cardiovascular benefits, the primary goal is to target the muscles. Therefore, choices (a) and (b) are not the best options as they only address one aspect of isotonic exercise, while (d) encompasses both benefits.
