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.

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 ...

Development and Maintenance of Isometric Strength of Subjects with Diverse Initial Strengths
Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1967Abstract Male college students (N=104) ranging in age from 17 to 28 years with diverse initial elbow flexion strengths were trained four days each week for nine weeks. The strength development period was followed by an eight-week period of strength maintenance during which the intensity and frequency of performing single isometric contractions were ...

Effect of Mental Practice on Isometric Muscular Strength
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1991This study was conducted in the Department of Physical Therapy, Louisiana State University Medical Center, New Orleans, LA 70112. The purpose of this study was to see if mental practice (MP) would increase voluntary isometric muscle strength in normal individuals.

A comparison of isometric strength and dynamic lifting capability
Ergonomics, 1980A laboruiory study was conducted to determine if job specific static strength can be used to predict dynamic lifting capability (maximum acceptable weight of lift) based on psychophysical methodology. Nine male college students were required to lift three different tote boxes (containers) from a 38 cm height to a 81 cm high table using a semi-squat ...

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.

Variability of grip strength during isometric contraction
Ergonomics, 1995The use of measures of strength variability as a means of determining sincerity of effort is becoming a more common practice, particularly in medico-legal and rehabilitation settings. The stability of such variability measures, however, has not been documented.

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 ...

Isometric and isokinetic measurement of hamstring and quadriceps strength
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1992This study evaluates quadriceps strength at varying movement velocities in a group of healthy subjects. Specific objectives included (1) investigating the effect of angular velocity on peak torque (PT) (2) investigating the effect of angular velocity on joint angle at peak torque (JAPT) and (3) evaluating whether the use of a relatively new isokinetic ...
