Something confusing about ACE

My test is in seven days, well I saved Chapter 9 (strength training and program design) for last since everyone said it's the one you should pay most attention to. Well, I always use my flash cards after I read a chapter to make sure I remember everything that I learned. There is one question on there that doesn't make sense, in the book it says the six types of resistance training are **Dynamic Constant Resistance **Dynamic Variable Resistance **Concentric Force Development **Eccentric Force Development **Isometric Force Development **Isokinetic In the flash cards, it has.. **Dynamic Constant Variable Resistance **Isokinetic **Isotonic **Concentric Contraction **Eccentric Force Development **Isometric Force Development I don't understand, if the question on the test is what are the six types of resistance training and there is multiple choice with those... which one would I pick? It doesn't add up to me. Is Isotonic just another name for Dynamic Constant Resistance?

It doesn't add up to me. Is Isotonic just another name for Dynamic Constant Resistance? Two types of isotonic movements would be concentric and eccentric. I would learn the first list and just know that those are the two types of isotonic resistance exercises. **Dynamic Constant Resistance **Dynamic Variable Resistance ** Concentric Force Development ** Eccentric Force Development **Isometric Force Development **Isokinetic ***Also in that second list "dynamic constant-variable" does not make sense, how would you have a varying constant in relation to exercise. Maybe in a science experiment where your variable is constant, also know as the "control." I don't think it would make sense in this context though.
