ISOKINETIC CONTRACTION It is a type of contraction in which movement is present, here our muscle changes its length and generate force, similar to isotonic contraction it also has both concentric and eccentric phase but here the movement during both concentric and eccentric contraction is controlled by any person or gadget or machine in order to provide a consistent rate of speed. Thus when we oppose or control our concentric and eccentric phase of movement by external means i.e person or gadget or machine then the contraction felt by our muscle is called isokinetic contraction. It is the rate of speed, in fact, that separates it from other types of muscle contraction and requires a specialized piece of equipment i.e isokinetic dynamometer or any person or some gadget. When used for exercise, isokinetic movements allow muscles to exert maximum force within the range of joint movements at a constant speed. Benefits of isokinetic exercise Isokinetic exercises are often used for rehabilitation and recovery since it’s a controlled form of exercise. Physical therapists and occupational therapists use isokinetic machines to help people recover from a stroke, an injury, or a medical issue. Isokinetic machines can also be used to treat imbalances in the body that have the potential to cause injury. Thus summarizing isokinetic contraction, being able to control the resistance and speed helps to: 1. Prevent Injury 2. Increase Muscle Flexibility 3. Control Muscle Development 4. Treat Muscle Imbalance 5.
