In this episode with Steve Collins we discuss a blog he wrote on the topic of isometrics for tendinopathy and growth adaptation. We talk about the takeaways of multiple different papers using this approach and what intensity, dosage and resistance should be used when prescribing isometric exercises. Finally, we cover how you can use isometrics for power and strength adaptations in specific patient populations.
