I have been doing fitness exercises on my own recently, and a friend asked me if I have used an isokinetic muscle trainer. I have never heard of this kind of thing before. What's more, I have always practiced on my own and have not received any formal training. My friend said that I should have such a trainer when practicing at home, because the speed and intensity during training will be displayed on the instrument. The following is a detailed introduction to what an isokinetic muscle trainer is. Indications and contraindications (1) Indications: Muscle atrophy caused by immobilization, reduced exercise or other reasons, muscle atrophy caused by muscle disease, muscle dysfunction caused by neuropathy, muscle weakness caused by joint disease or injury, muscle dysfunction, and muscle strength training for healthy people or athletes. (2) Contraindications: Joint instability, new fractures or incompletely healed fractures, acute inflammation or infection (redness and swelling), severe pain or hematoma during joint movement or muscle extension, bone and joint tumors, poor general condition, and unstable medical condition. Operation methods and steps (1) Before training: Turn on the machine and install the corresponding training equipment according to the training requirements. (2) Position the patient and secure him/her securely. (3) Joint motion angle setting: Usually the entire joint motion angle can be set. For the early stages of muscle, tendon, and ligament healing, after joint surgery, or when there is a joint disease, it is advisable to limit the range of joint motion. (4) Training methods: divided into isokinetic concentric training and isokinetic eccentric training. Movement speed: usually includes 60, 120, 180 degrees/second or 60, 120, 240 degrees/second, and the maximum speed can be increased to 720 degrees/second according to training needs. The training program can also be set to 8 to 10 speeds, increasing or decreasing by 20 or 30 degrees/second. (5) Number of training sessions: It is recommended to repeat the exercise 10 times at each speed. The intensity of the exercise, interval time and frequency of training can also be determined based on the purpose of enhancing muscle strength or developing muscle endurance. Precautions (1) Before maximum load isokinetic training, low- or medium-load exercise should be performed. (2) Perform small-angle exercises before full-angle exercises. (3) Concentric isokinetic exercise should be performed before eccentric isokinetic exercise to help patients better master the technique of exerting force. Because during centrifugal exercise, the speed of movement often comes from the robotic arm rather than the patient himself. (4) For other precautions, please refer to “Isotonic Muscle Training”. The above are the detailed introductions of the isokinetic muscle trainer recommended to me by my friend. After listening to my friend, I found that this kind of trainer is really suitable for me who practices at home. It is like having a fitness coach by my side, always reminding myself the speed and intensity of training, and which intensity of training is more suitable for me. I have to ask my friend to help me find a way to own an isokinetic muscle trainer as soon as possible. Make your body better. |
