Static” (isometric) resistance training refers to muscular action during which no change in the length of the muscle takes place.
Maximal voluntary muscle actions are better than sub-max. efforts for
increasing strength.
Small number of long-duration muscle actions or high number of short duration. Can be performed daily.
Can bring about increases in hypertrophy and neural adaptations.
Best to perform contractions at different points in the ROM. Other wise, strength improvement is specific to the joint angle used.
Sticking point exercises may improve strength at a specific ROM.
The Isometric mode is commonly used pre and post operatively or when pain associated with motion is a factor. Isometric contractions are effective at developing strength and decreasing joint effusion while avoiding painful points in the range of motion.

A muscular action performed at a constant angular limb velocity with Maximum Effort (For Isolation
Training). (Isokinetic exercise was first introduced by Hislop et al. in 1967, and since then it has been used widely in rehabilitation . Unlike isometric and isotonic contraction, isokinetic contractions provide muscle training throughout the range of motion (ROM) of a joint at a pre-set, constant speed of contractions. When a specific speed is reached the device will automatically accommodate to give resistance to each point in the range of
motion (ROM) while allowing the specific speed to be maintained. If the athlete is working as fast and as hard
as he/she can, the muscles will work at the maximum force at
all points in the ROM at that particular speed. The type of training is very safe. When the athlete applies force, the device provides resistance . If the force stops, the resistance stops automatically. Force changes caused by muscle length/tension relationship, skeletal leverage, pain or fatigue are then easily accommodated. Though the advantage of being able to train at several contractile speeds has not been specifically illustrated, most athletic events, however, occur at fast speed of contraction. Early
studies have shown that strength gained at relatively fast speed of contraction could be carried over into relatively slow speed of contraction. The Isometric mode is commonly used pre and post operatively or when pain associated with motion is a factor.
Isometric contractions are effective at developing strength and decreasing joint effusion while avoiding painful points in the range of
motion.)
“velocity of movement is controlled”. It can be Concentric or Eccentric.
(Results of a study suggest CON and ECC isokinetic training equally improve CON muscular torque and rate of torque production. In addition, ECC training results in greater ECC torque and rate of torque production improvements compared to CON training. The superior torque development improvements in the ECC group may be due to a greater overall training workload. Although the number of sets and repetitions as well as relative intensity was similar between groups, the ECC group was able to train at workloads ~30% greater than the CON
group).
(Another study suggest: The preloaded isokinetic exhibited retention of strength and endurance gains for as long as a year. The results indicated that the preloaded isokinetic yielded superior gains in strength and endurance as compared with the pure isokinetic except for isometric endurance. The observed retention of gains in the preloaded isokinetic during follow-ups may help direct rehabilitation to include eccentrics with isokinetic training).
If you can accelerate it’s not isokinetic.
You set the degrees of movement per second rather than a weight.
Intermediate speed is most advantageous for increasing power across all velocities of movement. 180 degrees/second-240 degrees.
Fast training maybe more effective than slow-speed training for increasing motor performance and lean mass.

A muscular action performed at a constant angular limb velocity with Maximum Effort (For Isolation Training) following an Eccentric Motion.
“velocity of movement in the Isokinetic stage is controlled”. The preload for the Iskinetic stage is provided by the Isotonic-Eccentric stage.
