Is running an isokinetic exercise?

No a push up uses fixed resistance (normally body weight or more if weights are added) which is isotonic not isokinetic


What are the disadvantages of isokinetic training?

Isokinetic testing is within the constraints of the machine. Isoinertial testing more closely mimics real life activity.


What is the main difference between free weights and universal weights?

Free weights cost less money. People have used free weights on a weight bench and have not used a spotter. The free weights have fallen on them and killed them. A universal machine is more expensive. You can not drop a universal machine on yourself.


What is an example of isokinetic muscle contraction and how does it differ from other types of muscle contractions?

An example of isokinetic muscle contraction is using a machine that maintains a constant speed while you lift weights. This type of contraction differs from other types because it allows for consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion, which can help improve muscle strength and endurance more effectively.


What are the differences between free weights and exercise machines?

Using machines provides more structure when working out while free weights provide more function. There are more exercises that can be done while using free weights that cannot be done with the machines. You can do dead lifts or squat-to-overhead press lifts while using free weights that cannot be done while using a machine thus working out more muscles overall.


Are bench pressing machines as effective as free-weights?

This depends on which muscles you are trying to develop, but usually, machines are actually more effective than free weights.


Do I really need to buy several different sizes of weights?

using free weights is one of the best ways to conduct your workout. As for your question, the more sizes of weights you have the more options you will have in your workout routine. You could get by with fewer weights by being more creative in you workout.


Are Gazelle exercise machines like free weights?

No. Free weights are weights that you can either add to a bar, or lift by not using a machine. Gazelle exercise machines are more designed for cardio. Gazelle exercise machines have been reviewed as 'not exactly worth it' and 'better off buying a treadmill'. Free weights are more for strength, and can build arm and leg muscle quickly if used properly.


What are the different types of lifting weights and how do they differ in terms of their benefits and effectiveness for strength training?

The main types of lifting weights are free weights (like dumbbells and barbells) and machines. Free weights require more stabilization and engage more muscles, making them effective for overall strength. Machines are easier to use and isolate specific muscles, making them good for targeting specific areas. Both types have benefits for strength training, but free weights are generally considered more effective for building functional strength and muscle mass.


Why do they use diesels in the le mans?

because they are more efficent and have more torque.


Is an alternator more efficent than a generator?

They are the same thing.


What are the differences between using a Bowflex machine and free weights for strength training?

The main differences between using a Bowflex machine and free weights for strength training are that Bowflex machines provide resistance through a system of rods or bands, while free weights use gravity as resistance. Bowflex machines are generally easier to use and require less coordination, but free weights allow for more natural movement patterns and engage stabilizing muscles for a more comprehensive workout.
