This guide summarizes the steps to set up and use the Isokinetic Resistance Reps app.
Note
Quick start apps are used to quickly start a workout on the machine. To save data and perform analysis, please login and utilize the Sessions App.
Step 1: Launch the App
- Open the isokinetic quick start app and click to begin.
Step 2: Set Isokinetic Speed Limit
- Default speed limit is 0.3 m/s (linear velocity)
- To find optimal speed limit, perform 2-3 movements and the speed will adjust.
- Adjusted speed is set for 2.5 seconds concentric time under tension.
- Press Apply to set speed limit
Step 3: Adjust Load
- Default load: 3 kilograms (recommended for isokinetic mode).
- Increase or decrease the load using the app controls if load is too light or heavy at beginning of desired repetition to prevent an impulsive movement at the beginning of movement.
- Always instruct client to move slowly into speed limit.
Step 4: Select Line Return Speed
-Adjust the return speed to fast for maximum freedom of movement:
-This setting minimizes restrictions for line movement eccentrically or assisted toward the motor.
Step 5: Perform Exercises
-Begin your workout, such as one-arm rows.
-Observe live metrics during the exercise:
-Concentric average force output recommended
Step 6: Analyze and Customize Metrics
-Change the displayed metrics as needed.
-Recommend average force output as primary observed metric.
-Metrics are displayed for concentric movements only.
