Why Isokinetic?

There are mountains of data to support the proven benefits of isokinetic resistance. The only issue, it has never been applied to functional movement in an easy-to-use format.

What is Isokenetic?

Time under tension + max effort

Time under tension is proven to build strength and power, but traditional methods are tempo-based, not effort-based. ForceTrain® Technology regulates time under tension by controlling velocity while safely supporting maximal exertion on every rep.

Max effort strip set > RPE

Replace “perceived exertion” with real, max effort exertion, every rep. Set the velocity. Get to work. See the results in real-time.

Our system is isokinetic and entirely self-contained. Weights are no longer required. The system adapts to user force input to maintain speed. Our onboard display then visualizes the strength curve instantly.

Safely get back under the bar sooner. See results faster.

Who
benefits?

Sports Med.

  • Unilateral assessment in under 90 seconds
  • Earlier intervention for closed-chain movement
  • CNS activation
  • Neuromuscular adaptation
  • Increased joint stability

Strength

  • Rapid force-velocity profiling = faster onboarding
  • Movements that reflect training
  • Controlled environment for late-stage RTP athletes
  • Strength gains without DOMS
  • Efficiently test isometric and isokinetic movement

Athlete

  • Safest environment for RTP or max effort lifts
  • Immediate feedback
  • Intuitive software
  • Easy-to-understand data
  • Buy-in to the process

The Science

The Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (2016): Effects of Multi-joint Isokinetic Resistance on Muscle Strength and Endurance:

  • …six weeks of multiple-joint isokinetic resistance training increased dynamic maximal muscular strength and endurance
  • Subjects significantly increased 1RM bench press, bent-over strength, and increased maximal push-up performance.
  • …data shows that multi-joint isokinetic resistance training has direct beneficial carryover effects to dynamic exercise performance. The carryover effects may be attractive to strength training and conditioning professionals seeking to include isokinetic exercises into a resistance training program.
TLDR: USE OUR SYSTEM, GET STRONGER.
ForceTrain® Technology in the wild

Case Study: Multi-Op Knee Restoration Recovery

Referencing research is one thing, showing real-world results is another.

Overview

This case study highlights the multi-operation knee restoration recovery for a female college soccer athlete.

Why it matters:
  • Efficiency: Weekly testing completed in under two minutes
  • Safety: Constrained movement allowed for safe force production through functional movement earlier in recovery. The ForceTrain® Tower was implemented immediately after clearance for closed-chain work.
  • Effective: 55% improvement in force production + strong athlete buy-in

Results

cs_1

Day 1
Unilateral Test

Contralateral deficits:

  • Average: 41.7%
  • Max: 41.9%

Inability to consistently produce force through the full range of motion, especially at movement initiation in the affected limb.

cs_2

Day 147
Unilateral Test

Minimal change in contralateral deficit, however:

Affected limb:
  • +27% avg. force
  • +45.5% max force
Contralateral limb:
  • +32.5% avg. force
  • +43.53% max force


Key outcome: Consistent force production through full ROM and consistent movement patterns across reps for each leg, indicating neuromuscular adaptation.

cs_2

Affected Limb Comparison
Day 1 vs. Day 147

  • Average force: +55.25%
  • Max force: +62.1%

Additional: Improved RFD and consistent force produced through ROM

Summary of Results

  • Initial contralateral limb deficit (Day 1): 41.8%
  • Improvement in affected limb over 90 days: +45.5%
  • Contralateral limb improvement over 45 days: +10.6%
  • Improvement in back squat over 60 days: +43.64%
  • Net improvement in limb asymmetry over 90 days: +13%


Argument

Rehabilitation must translate to functional movement. ForceTrain® bridges this gap by delivering a controlled, data-driven environment that supports safety and progressive overload – enhancing clinical decisions by combining objective data, functional movement, and athlete engagement in a single platform.
