Question 2

Briefly discuss the two types of training methods (modes) used in improving strength.

Accepted Answer

Two types of training methods are used to improve strength: isometric (static) and dynamic (previously called "isotonic"). In isometric training, muscle contractions produce little or no movement, such as pushing or pulling against an immovable object. In dynamic training, the muscle contractions produce movement, such as extending the knees with resistance on the ankles (leg extension). Isometric training does not require much equipment and strength gains with isometric training are specific to the angle of muscle contraction. Dynamic training is the most popular mode for strength training. The primary advantage is that strength is gained through the full range of motion. Most daily activities are dynamic in nature. Dynamic training consists of two action phases when an exercise is performed: (1) concentric or positive resistance and (2) eccentric or negative resistance.
