Question

Explain why isokinetic exercises cannot generally be performed by individuals at home.

Answer 1

Isokinetic exercises are performed where the limb is moving at a constant speed. This is typically performed with a machine, a dynamometer, to maintain this speed. Given that most people do not own one of these machines, it would be challenging for these exercises to be performed at home.

Isokinetic exercises require exerting a constant force against an equal and constant opposing force. Maintaining this constant opposing force requires specialized, expensive equipment that most people cannot afford. As a result, these kinds of exercises cannot generally be performed at home.
