Isometric Exercises

leave a comment »

I have been reading up on the use of isometric exercises to improve the explosiveiness of althetics. According to bodybuilding.com:

“An isometric movement is a movement in which no movement occurs. An example is holding a weight in a semi-contracted and motionless state for a period of time. Another example is pushing on an immoveable object for a given period of time.”

I will be experimenting with isometric movement and let rowers hold their paddling posture and exerting downward force to mimic the front drive force.
