Optimisation of isometric strength training intensity
Australian Journal of Physiotherapy, 1998 The aim of this study was to determine the optimal intensity for isometric strength training. Isometric elbow flexor strength of 51 subjects was measured before and after a six-week training period. Subjects were randomly assigned to target training intensities between 0 and 100 per cent of a maximal voluntary contraction, and undertook supervised ...
