An Analysis of Isotonic and Isokinetic Strength-Training Methods and Techniques.

This annotated bibliography documents traditional isotonic strength training and nontraditional isotonic strength training (isokinetics) to aid the athletic coach in deciding which type and scheme of training will best develop strength. A glossary of terms is provided. Appendices include muscle action charts and tables, body position charts, a cost of equipment table, and a graph illustrating the theoretical resistance provided by various pieces of equipment. A brief commentary on the materials compares research findings on the effectiveness of the two methods of strength training. (JD)
