Description

🗑
Dynamic Constant Resistance   Resistance force determines the muscle force. Resistance occures through both concentric/eccentric phase. Weight load does not change.  
🗑
Dynamic Variable Resistance   Strength training using weight stack machines have variable resistance. Weight load changes automatically during the movement. Less resistance in weaker phase, more resistance in the stronger phase.  
🗑
Strength Curve   Most difficult point in muscle contraction is called the sticking point. Maximum amount of weight a person can lift in a dynamic exercise is equal to the maximum weight that can be lifted through the sticking point.  
🗑
Isokinetic   Cannot adjust speed. Maximum resistance can occur through full ROM regarless of speed of contraction.  
🗑
Computer Controlled   Example: Lifecircuit. Popular with beginners, seniors and disabilities. Dynamic resistance. My be intimidating, requires more in-depth instruction.
