Advances in micro-electromechanical systems have made the massive use of
isoinertial accelerometer units (IAUs) possible in multiple fields, including the measurement of physical activity level (1), motor tasks (2), motor pathologies (2), movement detection (3), motor patterns (4, 5), and sports strategies (6-10).
(2016) performed a meta-analysis of 18 articles with 35 different measures of activation and observed that ER provides similar prime mover, antagonist, stabilizer and assistant movers activation as
isoinertial resistance.
The Progressive
Isoinertial Lifiting Evaluation (20) is a test of one's ability to lift a weighted box from the floor to waist level, and then from waist level to shoulder level in sets of 4 repetitions at a 12 lifts per minute pace.
IMUs, typically used for estimating body segment orientation [16], have been specifically employed for the assessment of ROM during joint mobility tests (IMU fixed on the body segment) [17-19] and muscle strength during
isoinertial strength tests (IMU fixed on the external resistance) [17,20] by estimating the body segment's orientation and force impressed to the external resistance, respectively.
Sources of variability in
isoinertial jump assessments.
With this in mind the present section has divided training with isokinetic,
isoinertial and isometric contractions.
Some tests such as progressive
isoinertial lifting test, which evaluate the functional level for patients with low back pain require suitable space, time and equipment.9,10 Therefore, it is important to choose the most suitable tests among various functional tests in order to determine performance level of people with CLBP.
Protocols for the Assessment of
Isoinertial Strength.
It was based on practical concerns, like avoiding velocities close to those used in
isoinertial or free-weight conditions, and their influence on muscle activation according to previous evidences (4,13,21).
Inclusion of eccentric actions on net caloric cost resulting from
isoinertial resistance exercise.
A comparison of isoload and
isoinertial leg press training on bone and muscle outcomes.
