using isometrics at short muscle lengths) increases strength around the joint angle corresponding to the peak contraction.
However, the study used a within - subject design, where one leg was trained
using the isometric training program, and the other used the isokinetic training program.
Joint moments measured
using isometric dynamometry are often very different in one part of the joint range of motion (ROM) to another (Worrell et al. 2001), which is most likely because of alterations in both muscle force at different muscle lengths (the length - tension relationship) and because of changes in the moment arm length (Baltzopoulos & Brodie, 1989).
Thus, these studies suggest that the length of the muscle during strength training may not be an important factor for altering muscle fascicle length, at least when
using isometric contractions.
