exercise?
Physical activity, planned, structured, and repetitive
with a purpose or goal.
What is isokinetic exercise?
Isokinetic exercises are those in which force is applied
a constant speed to achieve a contraction
maximum muscular whether concentric or eccentric
during the movement.
Isokinetic
● They are exercises of opposition to movement.
They are conducted with a fixed resistance and
deberán tener una duración mayor a 10
seconds.
● Resistance is supplied proportional to the
applied force of each angle of the
movement
Isokinetic
● Training method that would allow
generate muscular strength and contraction
maximum from all angles of
joint movement.
In order to carry them out, it is necessary to have
some special equipment (dynamometer) that
they have a device that allows control and
regular the speed of movement in a way
constant.
Isokinetic
● Isokinetic exercises are those in
which imposes a resistance to the
movement, without allowing it to happen.
They started with a minimum of resistance,
that is gradually increased. They are
indicated for relaxation and oxygenation
muscular, and for your coordination.
Dynamometer
● The isokinetic dynamometer is a
multiarticular system that us
allows to obtain objective values and
reproducible muscle strength.
Dynamometer
● It allows us to carry out
strengthening treatments
muscle safely and
efficient. Since this system
arranges its resistance in shape
discriminated by the force that each
the patient is able to perform it
throughout the entire joint pathway
Instructions
They are indicated in those
situations in which it is warranted
muscle reeducation, as well as the
increase in the strength of the groups
muscular. These exercises also
they can be used in situations
that require increasing the
resistance capabilities,
coordination and stability.
Contraindications
Isokinetic training is
contraindicated in diseases or
pathologies in which it is not indicated
the effort, just as it happens in
cardiovascular diseases no
balanced like hypertension
arterial, non-union fractures,
stress incontinence, injury of
acute ligaments, during the
pregnancy, sharp pain and injuries
cutaneous.

healing
• Intense pain
• Very limited joint movement
• Severe spill
• Acute sprain
Contraction
Isokinetic
Although isokinetic and isotonic contractions are both concentric and
eccentric, they are not identical but rather quite different, as
as we said before:
Isokinetic contractions are at a constant velocity, regulated, and a
maximum tension throughout the movement.
Isotonic contraction
In isotonic contractions, the speed of the
movement with no device and furthermore it is not exercised the same
tension during movement, as it is a matter of levers
tension varies as exercise is performed,
example, in quadriceps extensions when we start the
we exercise greater tension than at the end for several reasons:
one is because we overcome inertia
the other because as the muscle insertion points come closer the muscle
exerts less tension.

isokinetic
In the case of isokinetic exercises,
these machines are ready to
that exert the same tension and
speed across the entire range of
movement.
Team in
isokinetic exercises
To conduct training with machines
isokinetic requires special equipment, said
equipment basically contains a regulator of
speed, so that the speed of the movement
remains constant, whatever the tension
produced in the contracting muscles. Thus
that if someone tries to make the movement so
as quickly as possible, the tension generated by
the muscles will be maximized throughout the entire range of
movement, but its speed will remain
constant.

Benefits of the
isokinetic exercises
Control of the resistance, which allows adjusting the level of the
necessary resistance without injuring the muscles and in this way
you could say that the main advantage of isokinetic training
it offers optimal resistance at every point of the arch
articular.
Also, endorphins are released into the bloodstream during its execution.
sanguine allowing the person to feel greater
energy capacity and in a state of physical well-being.
The range of joint mobility and muscle strength increase
considerably after the implementation of the program
training.
