Functional isometric weight training its effects on dynamic and static leg strength

The purpose of this study was to examine the relative effectiveness of functional isometric squats on the development of dynamic strength, static strength and power of college males. Ten college males volunteered for the study. The subjects trained two days per week for a total of eight weeks which consisted of a two week preconditioning period followed by a six week functional isometric squat training period. The test data were statistically treated using a paired t-test and one-way analysis of covariance. The .05 level of significance was selected for accepting or rejecting the null hypotheses. The results of the imposed training program revealed a significant increase in dynamic strength. There were no significant increases in power between groups; however, a significant increase in power was found within the functional isometric and dynamic squat training groups. The results of this study have several implications towards strength training of athletes and students enrolled in a physical education weight training activity class.
