![]() To increase muscle hypertrophy, IST should be performed at 70-75% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) with sustained contraction of 3-30 s per repetition, and total contraction duration of>80-150 s per session for>36 sessions. ![]() IST may be included into athletes' training regime to avoid getting overly fatigue while still acquiring positive neuromuscular adaptations to improve the strength at a biomechanically disadvantaged joint position of a specific movement to improve sports specific movements that require mainly isometric contraction and when athletes have limited mobility due to injuries. IST has been shown to induce less fatigue and resulted in superior joint angle specific strength than dynamic strength training, and benefited sports related dynamic performances such as running, jumping and cycling. ![]() This review used a narrative summary of findings from studies that focused on isometric strength training (IST), covering the training considerations that affect strength adaptations and its effects on sports related dynamic performances. ![]()
