Searching for Isokinetic exercise is not listed in your information. Appx 52 years ago we developed a new type exerciser that we called the Mini Gym. A couple years later Dr James Perina at Univ of Iowa designed a much larger exerciser, he called Cybex and named the exercise ISOKINETIC. Both our exercisers controlled the speed of exercise,and accommodated to the user instead of the user accommodating to the resistance as with weights. Now there were 3 types of resistive exercise, Isometrics, isotonics and isokinetics. ISOKINETICS IS POSITIVE ONLY EXERCISE AND DEVELOPS ATHLETIC POWER.

I tell my story on our Home page Powerspeed-training.com (formally called Mini Gym Co.) In 1972 our small isokinetic Mini Gym was used by Skylab Astronauts in Space flights. Our most famous exerciser, the Isokinetic Leaper changed athletic training in 1975 when we introduced Speed Training with Positive only exercise (concentric) and no (eccentric) lowering of weights. Athletes could do 50 repetitions in less than one one minute. The Fast Speed Training develops athletes white quick twitch muscle fibers for higher jumping, more speed and quicker reflexes.

We have had 5 patents issued in our 50 years. Coaches for many years used weight training to get athletes stronger and bigger. Isokinetic adds another advantage of higher jumping, more speed and reflexes. There are hundreds of articles written about isokinetic exercise on web sites and thousands of training centers, big and small (even in homes or garages) improving young athletes. Also, there are hundreds of manufacturing companies making some type of isokinetic exerciser. Isokinetics used in measuring muscle injury and strength gains. Also, rehab leg limbs, and recently training young athletes to improve their game.
