Isometric Strength Fatigue Patterns in Female Subjects
Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1971Abstract Following two sessions to establish maximum strength, 33 female subjects were given 30 trials of isometric wrist flexion on each limb with intertrial rest period conditions of 10 and 20 seconds. Subjects were ranked on the basis of the mean strength of the right wrist on test Day 2 and divided into three groups of 11 subjects each ...

THE VALIDITY OF ISOMETRIC STRENGTH TESTS
Personnel Psychology, 1994Six studies using isometric strength tests as part of their selection procedures are reported. The studies represent seven jobs across various industries with a total sample size of 1,364 individuals. The relationships between performance on four isometric strength tests and both supervisory ratings of physical performance and performance on work ...

Strength Recovery Patterns Following Isometric and Isotonic Exercise
Journal of Motor Behavior, 196931 male Ss performed 2 bouts of hand-gripping exercise on a hand ergograph. The first exercise consisted of isotonic contractions performed for 3 min. at the rate of 30/min. The second bout was an isometric contraction held maximally until strength was depressed to the level established in the isotonic exercise. Recovery in both conditions was followed

Reproducibility of isometric strength: measurement of neck muscles
Clinical Biomechanics, 1999To evaluate the repeatability of an advanced method of measuring the strength of functionally different groups of neck muscles using an isometric apparatus.A repeated measures design was used within and between sessions.Chronic neck pain has been associated with poor isometric neck strength.

A Rat Model of Progressive Isometric Strength Training
Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry, 1999This study presents an isometric model of strength resistance training in rats. Seven rats were trained for five weeks with increasing load, once a day for six days per week while seven rats served as control group. Mechanical strength of the hindlimb muscle group was measured on anaesthetised rats with a force transducer linked to the Achilles tendon ...

The effects of isometric and eccentric strength training programs on isometric leg strength
2011The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of strength training by eccentric and isometric contractions in relation to isometric right leg strength. A secondary purpose was to determine if individual differences in eccentric strength gains were related to individual differences in isometric strength gains.

Isometric strength and endurance during the menstrual cycle
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1976Seven healthy young women, 3 whom had been taking oral contraceptives, were examined during the course of 2 menstrual cycles to assess their isometric strength, their endurance during a series of 5 fatiguing isometric contractions at a tension of 40% MVC, and their blood pressures and heart rates during those fatiguing contractions.

Isometric and swallowing tongue strength in healthy adults
The Laryngoscope, 2013Objectives/HypothesisThe tongue contributes to a safe swallow. It facilitates bolus control during mastication, maintains a bolus in the oral cavity to prevent premature entry of the bolus into the hypopharynx, and helps generate pressure in the hypopharynx during swallowing.

Age-Related Changes in Normal Isometric Shoulder Strength
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1999Normative data are useful for assessing isometric shoulder strength in patients with bilateral shoulder abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to develop a normative database for shoulder strength in the clinically relevant positions and movements.
