Level of Maximum Isometric Strength and Relative Load Isometric Endurance
Ergonomics, 1969Forty-seven male college students were tested for maximum isometric strength and relative load isometric endurance of the right elbow flexor muscles at 50, 60, 70 and 80 per cent of their maximum strength level. Three groups were formed based on the maximum isometric strength of the subjects.

Isometric strength and occupational muscle disorders
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1988In two longitudinal studies, initial muscle strength and endurance of the shoulder-forearm muscles were related to deterioration of shoulder-neck-arm disorders after one year. Group I (n = 32) worked in the automobile industry assembling car motors. Their work was performed when standing and walking, and implied varied postures and exertion of external

The Effect of Deep Heat on Isometric Strength
Physical Therapy, 1978The effect of a 20-minute treatment of short-wave diathermy on isometric strength of the quadriceps muscle group was studied in 12 subjects over a 2-hour period. The heat treatment caused an initial decrease in isometric strength followed by an increase 30 minutes after the heat was terminated.

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 ...

Maximum Isometric Lifting Strengths of Men in Teamwork
Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2004This study reexamined the additivity of maximum isometric teamwork lifting strength using experienced and height-matched young male participants. The maximum isometric lifting strength was measured for four exertion heights (45, 75, 105, and 140 cm) and four lifting styles (one-, two, three-, and four-person exertions).

Reliability of Isometric Strength Testing Temporal Factors and Strength Variation
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984Isometric strength measurements of grip, pronation, supination, and elbow extension and flexion on dominant and nondominant sides were made on 40 normal subjects (age range, 40-70 years) to investigate the variability of isometric strength at different times of the day.

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.

Proprioception and isometric muscular strength in haemophilic subjects
Haemophilia, 2001Haemophilia is characterized by intra‐articular bleeding, often requiring immobilization, which may result in muscle atrophy and impaired proprioception. The aim of the study was to investigate differences in proprioceptive performance and isometric muscular strength of the lower limbs in haemophilic subjects compared with control subjects.

The Use of the Isometric Squat as a Measure of Strength and Explosiveness
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2015The isometric squat has been used to detect changes in kinetic variables as a result of training; however, controversy exists in its application to dynamic multijoint tasks. Thus, the purpose of this study was to further examine the relationship between isometric squat kinetic variables and isoinertial strength measures.

Hip Isometric Strength Following Knee Surgery
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1994Hip exercises are frequently prescribed following knee injury and subsequent surgery based on the assumption that hip weakness exists. No data, however, are available that support hip weakness following knee trauma or surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare hip strength in patients after knee surgery.
