Question

A machine that provides both constant speed and maximum resistance throughout the full range of motion provides what type of muscular contraction?

Answer 1

A machine that provides both constant speed and maximum resistance throughout the full range of motion provides an isokinetic type of muscular contraction. This type of contraction occurs when the muscle would contract and shorten at a consistent and constant speed. To have this contraction, special equipment are to be used. An example of an equipment would be an Isokinetic Dynamometer. However, this type of training is said to be one of the fastest in increasing the muscle strength and the muscle endurance. With this training, the muscles being targeted would gain strength consistently and evenly throughout the whole duration of exercise.
