Isometric Muscle Contraction: A type of muscle contraction in which activation of motor units and the production of force does not result in joint motion or a change in muscle length. This occurs when ...

We have used an isometric force transducer to study contraction of two types of nonmuscle cells in tissue culture. This method permits the quantitative measurement of contractile force generated by ...

Should you focus on concentric or eccentric loading to build muscle and strength? We cover the benefits of both and how to prioritize them.

Isometric training involves muscle contractions that generate force without joint movement. The harder the contraction, the more forceful the muscle becomes. Exercise is great for improving heart ...

Exercise is great for improving heart health. But the thought of hitting the gym or going for a jog might put some people off from doing it. And, if you have a heart condition already, such dynamic ...

Abstract: 15 healthy men (26.6 ± 4.6 years old, weight of 70.7 ± 8.6 kg, and height of 1.750 ± 0.072 m) performed three 30-seconds isometric contractions at 60% MVC, with two 10-seconds resting ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ramp isometric contraction on changes in surface electromyography (sEMG) signal characteristics of the hamstrings muscles. All ...

Exercise is great for improving heart health. But the thought of hitting the gym or going for a jog might put some people off from doing it. And, if you have a heart condition already, such dynamic ...

The Brookbush Institute continues to enhance education with a glossary that is more than just definitions. Examples, common questions, and so much more! The word is formed from two parts: "iso" (equal ...
