Force and Types of Muscle
Contractions
Isometric Exercise
Capable of increasing muscle strength at specific joint angles
Exercise with no change in muscle length
May produce spikes(increase) in systolic blood pressure
Could cause life-threatening cardiovascular accident
To reduce this event to occur - REMIND the person to breath
Widely used in rehabilitation
Attempt to use positional or functional exercise – work at multiple
angles throughout the range if possible
Contractions should be held for 10 seconds at frequency of 10
or more per hour
Utilized to enhance lift or activity at “sticking point”
Progressive Resistive Exercise (PRE)
Exercises that work through a full range of motion
Isotonic or isodynamic contractions
Most popular & commonly used technique
Concentric vs. Eccentric
Greater force can be generated due to lower number of motor units
recruited allowing other motor units to be recruited to generate
increased force
Oxygen use is much lower with eccentrics
Efficiency of eccentric exercise is higher than concentric exercise
Needs of the body – acceleration and deceleration
Must be able to control body movements – deceleration and eccentrics
allows for this control
Type of resistance
Variable Resistance
Change in force required at different angles to
move a particular resistance
Greatest when joint is at 90 degrees
Accommodating resistance or variable resistance
equipment changes resistance at different points
in range

Isokinetics in Rehabilitation
Provide objective means of athlete/patient evaluation
Training at fast vs. slow speeds
Functional speeds
Plyometric Exercise
• Encompass a rapid stretch of muscle eccentrically followed
by a rapid concentric contraction to facilitate the
development of explosive power
Endurance training
Lighter weight and high repetitions (10-15) are suggested
More intensity

Isometric Exercise
Used during initial stages of rehabilitation
Serve to increase static strength, decrease atrophy, create
muscle pump to reducing edema
