In one study, Remaud et al. (2010)
assessed joint angle - specific changes in maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) torque and in neural drive after isotonic and isokinetic types of external load, using
knee extension training.
Using eccentric - only
knee extension training, Guilhem et al. (2013)
assessed the effect of constant load and isokinetic external load types on
joint - angle specific changes in torque and EMG amplitude.
