What are examples of exercise?
Active exercise, Aerobic exercise,endurance exercise, isokinetic exercise, isometric exercise, kegal exercise, passive exercise, resistance exercise..
How is isokinetic exercise done?
Isokinetic exercise utilizes machines that control the speed of contraction within the range of motion. Isokinetic exercise attempts to combine the best features of both isometrics and weight training.
What are the disadvantages of isokinetic training?
Isokinetic testing is within the constraints of the machine. Isoinertial testing more closely mimics real life activity.
Isometric exercise isotonic exercise and isokinetic excercise are all forms of?
Isotonic, Isometric and Isokinetic Exercises are Various types of muscle contractions are helpful in improving performance and health.

What happenes during isokinetic exercise?
Muscles contract and relax to move a joint.
Isokinetics refers to an exercise in which no joint movement takes place?
This statement is not correct. Isokinetic is a word used to describe exercise in which the movement is kept at a constant speed. No matter how much force is applied the speed stays the same. This means that a joint moves in isokinetic exercise but at a constant speed. If there is no joint movement then the exercise is called isometric
Is rowing a boat a Isokinetic exercise?
No it is not you can choose to row at any speed hence it is isotonic in nature
What is a sporting example of a Isokinetic contraction?
One example is the movement of the arm while running
What does isokinetic mean?
Exercise with possible varying resistance and a fixed maximum speed. In exercise terms it is a motion during which the speed is set and the resistance is variable. If the person does not achieve the pre set speed the exercise is classed as isotonic

Which type of resistance training requires muscles to move against resistance through an entire range of motion?
The type of resistance training that involves muscles to move against resistance through an entire range of motion is called Isokinetic exercise. Here's the definition from the Glencoe Health Book: Isokinetic exercise- activity that involves resistance through an entire range of motion. I hope that helped you! :)
