Isometric Exercises

Pete Sisco is the co-author of the best selling book Static Contraction, and Power Factor Training. He developed the Power Factor Training and Static Contraction Training methods along with six other books on scientific methods of bodybuilding. Over 200,000 people worldwide have trained using Pete's strength training methods.

The training methods developed by Pete Sisco has been featured in all of the best fitness and bodybuilding publications including Flex, Golf, Ironman, Men's Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, Muscular Development, and much more. He conducts studies on athletes from bodybuilders to golfers to determine the most efficient training method. Most of Pete's research is based on generating the most efficient workout performed with highest possible intensity in a short period of time.

What is Isometric Exercise and Static Contraction?

Isometric exercises are exercises that have no movement, and are performed in static positions. The joints and muscles are worked against a resistance (such as weights), or against an immovable force. Charles Atlas popularized Isometric training with his mail order "Dynamic Tension" course that taught you how to get strong without using weights. This involved creating dynamic tension through a variety of exercises such as pressing your arms out against door frames, or trying to lift up an immovable object.

The problem with this type of training is that you do not know whether you are exerting more force or less force each workout compared to previous workouts. How could you possibly know? But with static contraction training, a heavy weight is held in a static position, making the force exerted easily measurable. Based on the studies done using static contraction training method, Pete Sisco and John Little recorded an average of 51% increase in static strength in the test subjects in 10 weeks of training, where the workouts involved only 2 minutes of actual exercise. That's not a typo. 2 minutes of actual exercising is all it took with SCT.

Static holds were also tested for longer hold times such as 20 and 30 seconds; however, they found that reduced hold times of 5 to 10 seconds worked best. Over the years, Pete Sisco has developed more efficient SCT workouts that produced better results. He has developed the SuperRep technique and the CNS (central nervous system) workout that consistently produce results for strength gains and muscle growth. If you find it hard to believe that a 2 minute workout can produce these kinds of results, simply try it yourself.

Isometric Exercise $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Isometric exercise or isometrics are a type of strength training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction (compared to concentric or eccentric contractions, called dynamic/isotonic movements). Isometrics are done in static positions, rather than being dynamic through a range of motion. The joint and muscle are either worked against an immovable force (overcoming isometric) or are held in a static position while opposed by resistance (yielding isometric). Isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint. This is reflected in the name; the term isometric combines Greek the prefixes iso (same) with metric (distance), meaning that in these exercises the length of the muscle does not change, as compared to isotonic contractions in which the contraction strength does not change but the joint angle does.

Reference Values for Isometric Lumber $109.93 The muscles of the back play a key roles in lower back pain. The muscles are responsible for keeping the body upright and allow movement of the trunk in different directions. Experts have linked poor muscular strength to development of the development of low back pain. It is now evident that muscle endurance and spinal flexibility could play major roles in the prevention of back pain. This study therefore provides the reference values as a baseline for proper interpretation of the back extensors endurance and spinal extension flexibility in patients with back dysfunction.

Scale-isometric Polytopal Graphs In Hypercubes And Cubic Lattices $59.8 This monograph identifies polytopes that are "combinatorially l1-embeddable", within interesting lists of polytopal graphs, i.e. such that corresponding polytopes are either prominent mathematically (regular partitions, root lattices, uniform polytopes and so on), or applicable in chemistry (fullerenes, polycycles, etc.). The embeddability, if any, provides applications to chemical graphs and, in the first case, it gives new combinatorial perspective to "l2-prominent" affine polytopal objects. The lists of polytopal graphs in the book come from broad areas of geometry, crystallography and graph theory. The book concentrates on such concise and, as much as possible, independent definitions. The scale-isometric embeddability the main unifying question, to which those lists are subjected is presented with the minimum of technicalities.
