RESISTANCE TRAINING 6.
Isokinetic
• It is a method whereby we use our
muscles to move loads greater than we
are normally capable of doing.
• Our muscles become stronger, denser,
and shapelier.
REAP THE REWARDS OF
RESISTANCE TRAINING
• Increased calorie burn for two hours
after completing your workout
• Increased base metabolic rate (BMR) so
you burn more calories 24/7
• Enhanced physique with a targeted
program
• Stronger bones
• Greater flexibility
• Better injury prevention
TYPES OF RESISTANCE TRAINING
1. Static (Isometric)
• Involves muscular actions in which
there is no movement.
2. Isotonic
• When you contract your muscles to
produce movement.
3. Dynamic
• It is a self-resistance method of
pitting muscle against muscle, and
even more so, mind into muscle.
• The muscle of a given body part are
tensed and you then try to move the
body part against the tension as if a
heavy weight was being lifted,
pushed or pulled.
4. Concentric
• Concentric contractions cause
shortening in muscle length.
• These are evident when an individual
is moving against the resistance or
weight.
5. Eccentric
• Eccentric contractions see the
lengthening of muscles occur.
• Eccentric contractions are evident
when an athlete moves in the same
direction as the weight or resistance.
• The passage is then slowed so that
movement is slower than it naturally
would with gravity.
• This allows a person to operate at a
constant speed against a weight or
resistance.
• This method uses machinery
designed to develop strength through
a full range of motion.
7. Open-Chain
• Allows the foot or hand to move
about freely.
• These types of exercises typically
involve a single muscle group or
single joint.
• Open chain exercise usually involves
using weight that is distal – or away
from the body.
8. Closed-Chain
• The foot and/or hand are in a
constant or fixed position throughout
the movement.
• These types of exercises involve
multiple muscles and muscle groups
to complete the movement also
multiple joints.
9. Manual
• Allows you to have productive
training sessions without having to
rely on any equipment at all.
10. Mechanical
• It is active resisted exercise in which
the resistance provided by equipment
to either an isotonic or isometric
muscle contraction.
11. Constant
• It is a form of training where the
resistance directed against the target
muscle or muscle group does not
vary through the range of athletic
movement.
12. Variable
• It is when you use equipment like
resistance bands or even chains to
vary the resistance through the range
of motion of an exercise.
