    Study Notes

    Exercise Testing and Muscle Imbalance

    • Variable-resistance exercise machines have incorrectly designed cams and fail to match strength curves of different muscle groups.
    • Dynamic muscular endurance testing involves repetitions to failure at a given percentage of body weight or 1-RM.
    • A test battery for dynamic muscular endurance testing consists of 7 items, including arm curl, bench press, and leg extension.
    • Isokinetic dynamometers provide an accurate assessment of strength, endurance, and power of muscle groups.
    • Isokinetic resistance exercise test protocols involve strength, endurance, and power measures at different speed settings.
    • Isokinetic resistance exercise machines are expensive and primarily found in laboratory settings or sports medicine clinics.
    • Muscle imbalance may compromise joint stability and increase the risk of musculoskeletal injury.
    • Muscle balance ratios differ among muscle groups and are affected by the force-velocity of muscle groups at specific joints.
    • Isokinetic dynamometers have been used to assess muscle imbalances of agonist and antagonist muscle groups.
    • The muscle balance ratios are based on isokinetic tests of peak torque production at slow speeds.
    • Calisthenic-type strength tests assess dynamic muscular strength using exercises like pull-ups, dips, and push-ups.
    • Calisthenic-type muscular endurance tests assess dynamic muscular endurance through exercises like pull-ups, sit-ups, and trunk curls.
