Physical Therapy, 1981
This isometric exercise apparatus was designed to allow a patient to perform isometric hip exercises following bilateral pelvic osteotomies. Isometric exercises were provided to maintain muscle tone in the patient's lower extremities as he was on prolonged bed rest. Prior to the use of this device it was necessary for a physical therapist to assist the

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1983
To the Editor. —The Editorial entitled "Isometric Exercise Testing: Usefulness and Limitations" by Dr Stefadouros, published in the JanuaryArchives(1983;143:26-27), began with a statement that brought me up short: "... Isometric exercise [is] a form of exercise where the contracting muscles develop force without shortening." Can this be so?

Effects of nitroglycerin on isometric exercise
American Heart Journal, 1983Eight patients with ischemic heart disease performed isometric handgrip of five minutes' duration at 30% of their maximum voluntary contraction, before and after administration of 0.4 mg sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG). Although isometric exercise resulted in similar rise of left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) before and after NTG, the level of ...

The nasal response to isometric exercise
Clinical Otolaryngology, 1995The cardiovascular response to isometric exercise is well understood. However, the response of the nasal mucosa is less well known. We have attempted to document this response in normal individuals. Ten individuals with no history of nasal disease or allergy were studied.

Isometric Occupational Exercise and the Incidence of Hypertension
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1985The effect on blood pressure of regular exposure to isometric exercise was studied by measuring the incidence of hypertension among 4,273 men classified according to occupational isometric activity. Incidence of hypertension was lower among men in jobs with moderate or heavy isometric activity. This difference persisted after statistical adjustment for

BRIEF MAXIMAL ISOMETRIC EXERCISE IN HYPERTENSION
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1971AbstractBrief, maximal isometric exercise of six seconds' duration, repeated three times daily for five to eight weeks may be associated with lowering of the blood pressure in hypertensive patients. In 8 subjects with hypertension there was a decrease of 16–42 mm Hg in systolic pressure and 2–24 mm in diastolic pressure.

Isometric Exercise for an Individual with Hemophilic Arthropathy
Physical Therapy, 1987Several authors have described nonsurgical rehabilitative techniques for individuals with hemophilia who have single or recurrent hemarthroses. The effects of these low intensity exercise programs are not stated clearly in the literature. In this single-case experimental study, we investigated the effects of a training program of isometric exercise of ...

Isometric Exercise and the Cardiovascular System
The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1981In brief: There is little evidence that isometric exercise benefits the cardiovascular system, and many physicians believe that it imposes undue demands on the myocardium, so they prohibit such exercises for middle-aged or coronary disease patients. This review article examines the validity of this conclusion by summarizing the effects of isometric ...

Ocular Hemodynamics during Isometric Exercise
Microvascular Research, 2001The autoregulatory capacity of the human retina is well documented, but the pressure-flow relationship of the human choroid is still a matter of controversy. Recent data, using laser Doppler flowmetry to measure choroidal blood flow, indicate that the choroid has some autoregulatory potential, whereas most data using other techniques for the assessment

Changes in isometric function following rhythmic exercise
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1985Seven male subjects exercised for 1, 3, 10 and 20 min on a cycle ergometer at 20, 60 and 80% VO2max, and then held to fatigue a sustained contraction of the quadriceps at 40% maximal voluntary contraction in order to determine what influence various levels of dynamic exercise would have on isometric function of the same group of muscles.
