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

What are the disadvantages of isokinetic training?
Isokinetic testing is within the constraints of the machine. Isoinertial testing more closely mimics real life activity.
When utilizing isokinetic machines a true isokinetic contraction occurs at what stage?
When the pre set isokinetic speed is reached. This means the contraction is only isokinetic once the speed is achieved and in real terms maintained. In truth the isokinetic contraction is actually a window of the total motion used in the contraction not the whole contraction. This is because it takes some motion to reach the speed and some to decelerate at the end from the speed. The part in the middle (between acceleration and deceleration) s know as the isokinetic range (of contraction)
Is running an isokinetic exercise?
No a push up uses fixed resistance (normally body weight or more if weights are added) which is isotonic not isokinetic
What type of contraction is used primarily for stability?
isokinetic
Which muscular strength and endurance through the repeated?
isokinetic
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 are the categories of strengthening and endurance?
Isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic exercises.
What do isometric isotonic and isokinetic exercises have in common?
they have nothing in common
What is more efficent isokinetic or free weights?
Free weights.
Are the categories of strengthening and endurance activities?
Isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic exercises.
What are the categories of strengthening and endurance activities?
Isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic exercises.
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.
