The Relation between isometric lifting strength and muscular fitness measures / K. Birch... [et al.]

Sumario: The purpose of this study was to construct an isometric lift dynamometer and relate isometric lifting strength to dynamic measures of muscular fitness, leg and back strength and muscular power output. Many aspects of recreational weight training, industrial work and manual handling involve both isometric and dynamic muscular contractions. The static elements of these have received much attention in the literature because of their effect on the physiological responses of the performer. The assessment of human static strength, or isometric strength, or isometric strength testing, has thus seemed a valid area of research and has been proposed as a viable means both of personnel selection and of controlling medical incidents in industry
