Isometric vs. Traditional Strength Training
🏋🏽♂️ Traditional Strength Training may be more beneficial for:
Muscle hypertrophy
Less spike in blood pressure
📊 Isometric Strength Training may be superior for:
Tendon Rehab
Rapid Recovery
Max Force Production
Lower Technical Requirement
Remember, this is not all or nothing.
📈 We can use this knowledge for example to prioritize traditional strength training methods in the off season when fatigue can be higher and isometrics in season or when athletes are experiencing overtraining symptoms.
