(6) Isometric exercise induces a significant shortening of both intervals although minor for QT so that the ratio significantly increases in comparison to baseline (p less than .001).
(7) Starting from the observation that the part above 6 Hz of the power spectrum of force tremor during isometric contractions can be related to the unfused twitches of motor units firing asynchronously, an attempt was made to study the usefulness of force tremor spectral analysis as a global descriptor of motoneurone pool activity.
(8) The stiffness of the fibre first rose abruptly in response to stretch and then started to decrease linearly while the stretch went on; after the completion of stretch the stiffness decreased towards a steady value which was equal to that during the isometric tetanus at the same sarcomere length, indicating that the enhancement of isometric force is associated with decreased stiffness.
(9) For this purpose, the fastest possible self-paced single isometric forefinger extensions and the fastest alternating forefinger movements were tested.
(10) There were discrete linear relationships between muscle temperature and isometric endurance associated with cycling at 60% and 80% VO2max.
(11) The purpose of this study was to test for differences in the maximal isometric hip abduction torque produced between hip sides across multiple hip abduction angles.
(12) Such parameters of stimulation permite to achieve unfatiguability of muscle in isometric contraction regimen.
(13) During continuous isometric exercise with constant stimulation time, the amount of IMP was linearly and inversely related to the age of the animals; a higher IMP concentration was found in intermittent isometric and dynamic exercise.
(14) The response was composed of an isometric phase, during which the body weight was shifted from the stimulated limb to the opposite forelimb while the stimulated limb was gently pushed backwards, and a movement phase during which the stimulated paw actually accomplished the placing reaction.
(15) This study compared the effect of varied training frequencies on the development of isometric lumbar extension torque (strength) over 12- and 20-week training periods.
(16) When maximal isometric trunk flexor or extensor torques were imposed upon a maximal Valsalva manoeuvre, transversus abdominis activity and intra-abdominal pressure remained comparable within and across conditions, whereas obliquus internus, obliquus externus and rectus abdominis activities either markedly increased (flexion) or decreased (extension).
(17) Two effects were recorded simultaneously in the same preparation: (a) isometric contractions, due to the tension elicited by drugs on the external (longitudinal) smooth muscle layer and (b) pressure of internal perfusion, due to contractions of the internal (circular) smooth muscle layer.
(18) The relationship between semitendinosus muscle force and knee joint kinematics during isometric torque production was examined in the frog (Rana pipiens) hindlimb.
(19) Isometric exercises are frequently encountered in activities of daily living and many occupational tasks.
(20) The authors favor conservative treatment of tennis elbow, starting with cessation of the offending activity and prescription of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and followed by isometric and isotonic exercises when pain and inflammation have subsided.
Monometric
Definition:
(a.) Same as Isometric.
Example Sentences:

(7) Esophageal monometric studies were done in 10 unselected patients with Sjögren's syndrome, not associated with other connective tissue or chronic active hepatic disease.
(8) Viral DNA molecules formed in the presence of cycloheximide consist predominantly of closed-circular monometric species (referred to as form Ic) characterized by a decreased superhelix density, corresponding to deltasigmao = 0.0195, as compared to form I DNA by propidium diiodide-cesium chloride isopycnic analysis.
(9) At monometric levels of 20, 30, and 40 mm Hg, a statistically significant difference in readings was found between normal and edematous corneas with use of the Perkins and Goldmann applanators, whereas no such difference was found with the MacKay-Marg tonometer.
