Exercise with possible varying resistance and a fixed maximum speed.

In exercise terms it is a motion during which the speed is set and the resistance is variable. If the person does not achieve the pre set speed the exercise is classed as isotonic

What are the disadvantages of isokinetic training?

Isokinetic testing is within the constraints of the machine. Isoinertial testing more closely mimics real life activity.


What is isokinetic peak-torque?

Isokinetic peak torque refers to the maximum amount of force that a muscle can generate at a constant speed during an isokinetic muscle contraction. It is commonly measured during strength testing to assess muscle function and performance.


Is running an isokinetic exercise?

No a push up uses fixed resistance (normally body weight or more if weights are added) which is isotonic not isokinetic


When utilizing isokinetic machines a true isokinetic contraction occurs at what stage?

When the pre set isokinetic speed is reached. This means the contraction is only isokinetic once the speed is achieved and in real terms maintained. In truth the isokinetic contraction is actually a window of the total motion used in the contraction not the whole contraction. This is because it takes some motion to reach the speed and some to decelerate at the end from the speed. The part in the middle (between acceleration and deceleration) s know as the isokinetic range (of contraction)

How is isokinetic exercise done?

Isokinetic exercise utilizes machines that control the speed of contraction within the range of motion. Isokinetic exercise attempts to combine the best features of both isometrics and weight training.
