What is Isokinetic Strength Training?
Origin
Isokinetic Strength Training was firstly introduced by Hislop, Perrine and Thistle in the 1960’s. Since then, this training method has been applied increasingly in rehabilitation and sports science.
Theory
With the special device, the speed of the equipment remains constant, and the resistance alters based on the exertion of the users. No matter how large or small exertion you carry out, the speed of the movement remains constant. Thus, the muscle contraction can achieve its maximum strength effect for every angle of the joints during the muscle strength training.
Effect
Isokinetic Strength Training can increase muscle strength, improve explosive power and enhance muscular endurance. It is recognized as the safest and most effective strength training in today’s rehabilitation and sports science.
Application
The traditional training equipment is costly and difficult to operate. The professionals are required to assist with the proper operation. Thus, such equipment can be found only in medical centers and training research units, where the researchers apply the equipment and mainly focus on the study of motor system damage and the rehabilitation patient assessment. Nevertheless, common people are not allowed to enjoy the safe and effective training.
Isokinetic strength training equipment has advantages that other traditional strength training equipment does not have
Isokinetic Strength Training
Isokinetic strength training is currently the safest, most effective and most human-oriented method of muscle training in clinical studies in the world. Use special equipment to make the speed constant and the resistance changes with user’s force. During the exercise of the elderly muscle strength training, no matter how big or small your strength is, the speed of its movement remains the same, making exercise effortless and healthier.
- It can increase the strength and endurance of the muscles around the joints.
- It is a high-safety training method to avoid unnecessary sports injuries.
