Results of the neuromuscular effects of isoinertial training.
Author(s) | Year | Effects of isoinertial training (results) | Sample characteristic | |
(Beato et al.) (Kowalchuk and Butcher) (Suchomel et al.) | 2020 2019 | Hypertrophy – Increased strength and power. Maintenance of lean mass in the face of sarcopenia Maximise muscle size, strength and power | Older adults Review study | |
(Bruseghini et al.) | 2019 | Increased anatomical cross-sectional area (quadriceps). Lean tissue preservation | Older adult subjects | |
(Fisher et al.) | 2020 | Improves muscle speed and strength. Reduces the incidence of lower limb injuries (especially the biceps femoris) | Sports and rehabilitation | |
(Hedayatpour and Falla) | 2015 | Increased passive muscle tension. Maintenance of force levels | Review study | |
(Illera-Domínguez et al.) | 2018 | Increase in strength and power in the knee (28% knee extension CIVM) – Hypertrophy of the quadriceps | Young people | |
(Lastayo et al.) | 2017 | Low energy cost – High muscle force production – Reduces losses in muscle size, strength and mobility. Reduces the risk profile for falls in older adults | Older adults | |
(Maroto-Izquierdo et al.) | 2017 | Functional and anatomical changes and improvement in performance | Sports-people | |
(Norrbrand et al.) | 2010 | Increased MVC and specific strength of the training. Higher mechanical stress | Healthy, non-active men | |
(Núñez et al.) | 2018 | Improvements in lower extremity muscle volume and functional performanc | Young male team sports players | |
(Onambélé et al.) | 2008 | Increased tendon stiffness of the gastrocnemius. Improvement in the individuals’ postural balance | Older adults | |
(Petré et al.) | 2018 | Increased strength and power. Hypertrophy | Sports-people | |
(Sañudo et al.) | 2019 | Improves balance, functional mobility and muscle power | Older adults | |
(Tesch et al.) | 2017 | Useful tool to improve neuromuscular function in both clinical and healthy populations | Healthy, sedentary, or physically active people and populations with muscle wasting, disease, or injury | |
(Tous-Fajardo et al.) | 2016 | Improvement in CD capacity, linear velocity, and reactive jumping | Sports-people | |
(Walker et al.) | 2016 | Increase in maximum force production, work capacity, and muscle activation | Strength-trained men | |
(Wonders) | 2019 | Muscle activation – tendon elongation and stiffness | Athletes in rehabilitation | |
Note. MVC: maximum voluntary contraction; CD: change of direction. Source: prepared internally. |
