Exam 1

Question 1 of 25

1

Which of the following are characteristics of isokinetic exercises?

Select one or more of the following:

Fixed Speed with Variable Resistance
Machine accommodates itself to the user throughout the ROM
The machine will only move at a given speed; and it maintains the speed by adjusting the resistance relative to the force being received.
Load is dependent on the velocity of limb movement throughout the arc of motion.
By controlling the speed of the exercise, maximum resistance throughout the full ROM is developed and all points of range can be worked maximally.
Can accommodate muscle fatigue as well as painful arc.
Muscles can be worked in both concentric and eccentric contractions.
Good choice for strengthening when a person has pain with joint movement, but still needs to gain or at least maintain muscle strength
Good choice for gentle muscle pumping soon after surgery
Combination of an eccentric load followed by a fast concentric contraction

Explanation
