The Power of
Isometric
Because we are hungry for health in the era of technologies, it is our
prime responsibility to support good health and physic. As a part of the health
community, I am very close to this topic and it is my prime responsibility
to aware the nation about their health and fitness.
Today I am talking about the isometric exercise. In the field of
physiotherapy is very powerful and important exercise program concerning
patient and physio trainer and physiotherapist to improve the
strength and capacity of our body's skeletal muscle, which is the mains source
of motions, action, performance and survive for batter living, because without
the work of skeletal muscle, we are like a paralyzed patient, so here I am to
explain the power of isometric exercise.
From the theoretical point of view means the same (not changed)
and metric means length (here the length stands for the length of skeletal
muscle) that is pretty simple and more effective and if you are somewhat lazy,
this was developed for you guys and after starting it the
laziness will be vanished out. Isometric training is essentially a fancy
way to categorize exercises that recruit muscles and exert tension without
actually lengthening or shortening the muscle. In other words, your
muscle is flexed, but it’s not expanding and compressing. It’s a stagnant
way of placing a demand on a desired muscle or group of muscles.
This type of training includes several moves that can target your entire body. As always, you can make the best use of your time if you perform moves that engage both your upper body and lower body at the same time. Any of the exercises listed below can be combined with an upper or lower body component to make sure all major muscle groups are being worked. Isometric exercises are ideal for those with limited workout space, existing knee discomfort, or anyone simply needing a change in their typical fitness routine. Because these moves are improving strength in one body position, they should only serve as a complement to a more dynamic.
exercise regimen. Isometric exercises are often prescribed
as a path to healing for arthritis and rotator cuff injuries.
During the years of 1995s and 1960s isometric resistance training
gain popularity as an alternative to dynamic resistance exercise. Initially
it was put to be a very effective and very efficient method of
muscular strengthening. Based on the 1950s and 1960 research it was
noted that isometric strength gains of 5% per week occurred when a fit
person or subject performs a single near-maximal isometric
contraction every day over six weeks.
USES OF ISOMETRIC EXERCISE
The need for static strength is vital in almost all aspects of control
and balance (equilibrium) during functional activities. As the static strength
gains very rapidly with isometric exercise as mentioned earlier, wherein other
hands the loss of static muscle strength occurs rapidly with immobilization and
disused with an estimate from 8% per week to 5% per day.
TYPES OF ISOMETRIC EXERCISE
- Muscle setting exercise: - It involves low-intensity isometric contraction performed against little or no resistance, these types of exercise is mainly used to decrease skeletal muscle pain and spasm.
- Stabilization exercise: - play an important role in postural and dynamic stability in this a sub-maximal but sustained level of contraction is applied, the weight-bearing position is actively used if permissible.
