A novel method for the performance of isometric exercise in the home
Journal of Sports Sciences, 2005 There is a paucity of research on devices suitable for home-based isometric exercise. Our aim was to compare cardiovascular responses to isometric exercise using novel and established methods. Ten individuals (age 34.0 +/- 8.5 years, mass 68.2 +/- 10.4 kg, height 1.72 +/- 0.09 m; mean +/- s) performed three different isometric exercise protocols with ...

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 ...

Effect of isometric exercise on resting blood pressure: a meta analysis
Journal of Human Hypertension, 2010 Dynamic physical exercise (walking, swimming, and so on) is an important component of lifestyle changes to reduce blood pressure; however, many individuals are unwilling or unable to adopt this lifestyle change.

Isometric exercise, isometric strength and anthropometric measurements
Internationale Zeitschrift f�r Angewandte Physiologie Einschliesslich Arbeitsphysiologie, 19631. 29 young adult male subjects practiced 15 sec. of maximal isometric contractions of the elbow flexors three times a day, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks. They achieved greater increases in strength than have been claimed for a single two-thirds maximal contraction once a day, although the latter has been said to provide the maximal stimulus for the ...

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 ...

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?

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.

Energetics of isometric exercise in man
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1976In isometric contractions of the plantar flexors (5–40% of maximal tension, Tmax), VO2 is linearly related to the force exerted, averaging 2 ml/min-kg of tension. At tension levels above 5% Tmax the lactic acid contribution to the overall energy demand is constant at about 20%.

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
