Effects of an Isotonic and a combination Isometric-Isotonic exercise programme upon push-up performance

Abstract

The effects of a repetition push-up exercise programme and a repetition combination isometric-isotonic push-up exercise programme upon muscular endurance as measured by maximum repetition of push-ups were studied. Thirty-four male subjects enrolled in a wrestling activity class were equated into three groups on the basis of maximum repetition push-up performance. Group 1 (N = 12) performed maximum repetition push-ups; Group 2 (N = 1) did maximum repetition combination isometric-isotonic push-ups; and Group 3 (N = 11) served as the control group.
