Muscle Strength
Force muscle can produce with single maximal effort

Contractions
Isomentric
Isotonic
Isometric(Static) contraction
No visible change in joint angle
Isotonic(dynamic)
Visible change in join angle.
1. Concentric
2. Eccentric
3. Open kinetic Chain
4. Closed Kinetic Chane
5. Isokinetic
Concentric
Exert tension while muscle SHORTENS
Eccentric
Exert tension while muscle LENGTHENS
Open Kinetic Chain
Furthest away from body free and not fixed to ground
Closed Kinetic Chain
Furthest away segment fixed
Isokinetic
Maximum contraction at constant velocity throughout entire ROM
Isotonic Strength Tests
Pull ups
10RM
1RM
1 Rep Max Test
5-10min general and specific warm up
Rest and stretch 1min
Do 3-5 reps @69-80% of 1RM
Rest 1min
Inc weight slightly do 1 Rep
Rest 3min
Inc weight slightly do 1 rep
Repeat till Px fails to lift weight
1RM equation
1RM ÷ BW(kg) =relative strength value
Isokinetic Strength Tests
Cybex
KinCom
Biodex
