Question 1

what are isotonic  versus isokinetic exercises and what are the differences?

Accepted Answer

Her are they: Now, there are several forms of lifting... Isotonic, auxotonic, isokinetic, and isometric. Here is a brief defination of all.

Isotonic - where there is constant tension during the lift 
isokinetic - constant velocity (speed) in the lift 
isometric - there is no change in muscle length during the lift, static 
auxotonic - changing tensions caused by altered velocities and joint angles.

Question 2

what are some isotonic exercises versus isokinetic exercises, what are the differences?

Accepted Answer

Her is the differanc: Isokinetic exercise  dynamic muscle activity performed at a constant angular velocity; torque and tension remain constant while muscles shorten or lengthen.
Isotonic exercise  active exercise without appreciable change in the force of muscular contraction, with shortening of the muwith shortening of the muscle.

Question 3

isometric vs isotonic exercise?

Accepted Answer

Move or not?: Muscle contractions can be divided into: 
•isotonic (constant tension through rom-range of motion)
  basically but not exactly like free wts.
  Most effect on weakest point          
•isometric  (no movement)                  
•isokinetic (motion is at aconstant speed but the force varies)
   requires complicated special equipment but does strengthen the muscle through its entire range equally.

Question 4

how effective is isotonic vs isometric exercise?

Accepted Answer

Isotonic/isometric: Both are effective, just different. It is easier to do isometric. True isotonic is more challenging.

Question 5

whats the difference between isotonic and isometric exercise?

Accepted Answer

Motion-No Motion: Isometric exercise is where muscle force is exerted without changing the length of the muscle fibers. This is accomplished by pushing or pulling against an immovable object or by simultaneously contracting opposing muscles, such as by pressing the hands together. There is no joint movement. Isotonic occurs when a contracting muscle shortens against a constant load, as when lifting a weight.

Question 6

what is the difference between isotonic and isometric exercise?

Accepted Answer

Are different: Isometric exercise is where muscle force is exerted without changing the length of the muscle fibers. This is accomplished by pushing or pulling against an immovable object or by simultaneously contracting opposing muscles, such as by pressing the hands together. There is no joint movement.  Isotonic occurs when a contracting muscle shortens against a constant load, as when lifting a weight.

Question 7

isotonic exercise versus isokinetic exercises, what are the differences?

Accepted Answer

Motion-No Motion: Isometric exercise is where muscle force is exerted without changing the length of the muscle fibers.

Isotonic occurs when a contracting muscle shortens against a constant load, as when lifting a weight.

Question 8

what are some differences between  isotonic exercises versus isokinetic exercises?

Accepted Answer

Types of exercise: Isotonic= if you push against something that is immovable you are experiencing isometric contractions. This may also be called static tension; isokinetic = 
exercises used in therapeutic settings with a device/ machine to help control the speed of the exercises.

Question 9

what are some isometric exercises?

Accepted Answer

No joint movement: Iso  is from the greek word meaning "same" and metric refers to length. So an isometric exercise is one in which there is a muscle contraction without a change in its length, ie the joint does not move. Flexing the biceps, for example, is an isometric exercise. Pinching  & holding your shoulder blades together is a great example of a functional isometric exercise used to treat shoulder problems.

Question 10

how effective is isometric exercise?

Accepted Answer

R U ready: Any exercize result depends on what you put into it

strength gains only occur at the angle you use in the exercise.
During an exercise,  blood flow to the muscle stops, blood pressure rises, and less blood flows back to the heart.
This could be dangerous if you have heart problems.
