Methods of Improving Strength
Isometric, Isotonic and Isokinetic
STRENGTH
Strength is the ability of the muscles to overcome resistance.
a) Facilitates the ability to resist disease as it affects
organic efficiency .
b) It is the amount of force a muscle or muscles group can
exert.
c) It is achieved by voluntary muscle contraction.
d) Specific type of strength is required in specific type of
sports
e) Strength is divided into two types:
a) Dynamic Strength
b) Static Strength

DYNAMIC STRENGTH
Dynamicstrength is also called isotonic strength because it is
related to the movement which is clearly visible.
Dynamic strength is of diminishing tendency in which
muscles refuses to work after sometime.
Ineach sports movement, strength appears in a different
form which are
Maximum Strength
Explosive Strength
-Strength Endurance
Types of Strength
a) Maximum Strength:- It is the ability to overcome or to act against resistance. It is the maximum force
which is applied by the muscles to perform any certain activity. For developing maximum strength
intensity is high and repetitions are less.
b) Explosive Strength: It is a combination of strength and speed abilities. It is the ability to overcome
resistance with high speed. For developing explosive strength, intensity is sub maximum and repetitions
are performed as fast as possible.
c) Strength Endurance: It is the ability to overcome resistance or to act against resistance under
conditions of fatigue.
STATIC STRENGTH
Static strength isalso
called isometric strength.
I t is the ability of muscles
to act against resistance.
This type of strength is
not seen directly in sports
but in some sports, it is
applied in phases.
METHODS FOR IMPROVING STRENGTH
1. ISOMETRIC EXERCISES
2. ISOTONIC EXERCISES
3. ISOKINETIC EXERCISES
ISOMETRIC EXERCISES
1. Isometric is "iso-- Same" and "metric-- Length"
2. No change in the length of the muscles.
3. Work done cannot be observed.
4. Require less time and equipment
5. Useful for maintaining strength in case of injury
6. Archery, weight lifting,gymnastic are the examples of
isometric movements.
