Weights
Isometric advantages
Develop static strength
Inexpensive
Little equipment needed
Overload can be progressed by increasing the:
Resistance
Repetitions
Number of sets
Isometric
Muscle contracts but there is no movement
Eg Wall sit
Isotonic advantages
Strengthens the muscle through the range of movement
Can be sport specific
Isotonic
The muscle contracts and shortes to produce movement
Eg Push up/Squat
Isotonic disadvantages
Muscle soreness after exercise as high intensity level
Muscles gain most strength at their weakest point of action
Isometric disadvantages
Muscles gain most strength at the angle used in exercise
Can cause a rise in blood pressure due to the reduced blood flow during the contraction
Muscle fibre hypertrophy
Resistance training will increase hypertrophy
Muscle growth depends on muscle fibre type
