Production of muscle force is less at extreme joint range of motion (e.g., the muscle is too short or excessively lengthened). Variable-resistance exercise machines address the relative decrements in force throughout the range of motion by a cam that varies the resistance to match the decremen...
Exercise machines are safer to use when compared with free weights. They require less training and stabilize the body. Additionally, it is easier to control the exercise throughout the range of motion. Patients should also be instructed to perform the exercise in a pain-free range.2 View ...

The vast majority of previous research with isokinetic machines has used only ascending or random velocity sets during testing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect velocity order (ascending vs. descending order) had on peak torque of knee extension during isokinetic testing and ...
The subjects, 22 men with mild to moderate MR, were randomly assigned to two groups; 11 subjects trained three times a week for 12 weeks using HR exercise machines, while the other 11 served as controls. Prior to and after the 12 wee...
