Isometric and isokinetic back and arm lifting strengths: device and measurement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study was conducted to measure isometric (static) and isokinetic (dynamic) back and arm lifting strengths at 20, 60 and 100 cm s-1 of young adults. Ten male and ten female volunteers without a history of back pain participated. The isokinetic lifting task was achieved by controlled motorized dynamic strength tester (DST). A regression analysis and analysis of variance was carried out on the strength data. The peak static strength values were significantly greater from the peak dynamic strength values. The peak dynamic strength was inversely related to the speed of motion. There were significant differences between the dynamic strengths at different stages of lift.

Positive adaptations to weight-lifting training in the elderly.
Maximal weight-lifting performance, isometric strength, isokinetic torque, whole muscle and individual fiber cross-sectional areas, and muscle evoked contractile properties were assessed in 14 elderly males before and after 12 wk of weight-lifting training. Dynamic elbow flexion training of one arm resulted in a significant 48% mean increase in the maximal load that could be lifted once (1 RM) ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of asymptomatic back muscle weakness and spinal deformity on low back pain (LBP). METHODS Sixty healthy subjects without LBP participated in this study. Radiography and an isokinetic/isometric dynamometer were used to respectively measure spinal scoliosis/lordosis and the strength of the trunk flexors/extensors. After 2 years, 48 subjects visited the hospi...

متن کاملIsometric Strength and Its Relationship to Dynamic Performance: A Systematic Review
Strength is a fundamental quality necessary in achieving optimal physical function and is defined as the ability to produce more force.(Siff M; Stone MH et al., 1993). Thus the display of strength has characteristics which include a magnitude, rate and direction. The force production can be measured by isotonic, isometric or isokinetic methods. The isotonic techniques require lifting a particul...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal Assessment in Soccer: A Review
Muscular strength is generally measured using either of the following methods, one repetition maximum (1RM) of a weight-lifting exercise, a resisted maximal effort and portable or laboratory-based dynamometry. The 1RM method refers to measurements of maximum strength using a strength training device such as a barbell or stationary weight-lifting machine. Dynamometry can be divided into two sepa...
