Isometric Training Benefits for Tendon Strength
Isometric training offers specific benefits beyond muscle mass development, particularly in training tendons. The focus shifts to enhancing tendon properties, including viscoelastic creep, which impacts tendon strength and stress relaxation. Isometrics, especially 30-second durations, target tendons, potentially aiding in conditions like tendinopathy. The training method involves strong muscle contractions for a set period to stimulate tendon adaptations.
