Izomerállóképesség

Izomerállóképesség, a Hungarian term, translates to isometric endurance or isometric strength. It refers to the ability of a muscle or muscle group to sustain a contraction against resistance for an extended period without changing in length. This type of strength is developed through exercises where the joint angle remains fixed, and the muscles work to oppose an external force. Examples include holding a plank position or gripping an object tightly for a duration. Unlike isotonic exercises, where muscles shorten and lengthen through a range of motion, isometric exercises involve static muscle tension. This type of training is beneficial for improving stability, posture, and the ability to hold positions. It can also be useful in rehabilitation settings when joint movement is restricted or painful, as it allows for muscle strengthening without stressing the joints. The duration and intensity of the isometric contraction are key factors in developing this specific type of physical capacity.
