The dynamic-resistance muscle strength training protocol using isokinetic dynamometer can safely (i.e. without clinical symptoms or changes to the ECG and arterial blood pressure) improve muscle strength and VO2max without any major risks in patients post-CABG. These findings should encourage additional studies to validate the relevance of these strength training modalities in rehabilitation centers.
Isokinetic muscle strengthening increases the effects of aerobic exercising in the obese by improving muscle strength, increasing lean body mass and reducing body fat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
