Study Notes

Isometric Muscle Contractions

Isometric muscle contractions produce tension without joint movement.
Isometric exercises are used when motion is restricted or not possible.
Isometrics help to:
- Decrease muscle atrophy
- Facilitate muscle contraction
- Decrease pain
- Improve circulation

Isometric Exercise Guidelines

The "Rule of 10" is commonly followed:
- Gradually increase force for 2 seconds
- Maintain force for 6 seconds
- Decrease force for 2 seconds

Exercise Progressions

Progress from slow to fast exercises
Progress from simple to complex exercises
Progress from stable to unstable exercises
Progress from low force to higher force exercises

Isometric Training

Start with submaximal contractions and progress to maximal contractions
Perform exercises at multiple angles
Increase intensity by:
- Increasing repetitions
- Increasing effort
- Increasing the length of hold
