Strength was assessed by both isometric handgrip dynamometry, and cable tensiometry, together with isotonic measurements of 1 rep max chest press for upper body and squat for lower body.
However, the female group exhibited significant greater strength improvement in isotonic upper body strength (p>0.05).
It is concluded that, in the human, a brief exposure to isotonic solution of mannitol with low concentrations of calcium, magnesium and chloride is a very effective activation stimulus.
Following placement of the catheter, a 50 ml aliquot of sterile isotonic saline (0.9%), warmed to body temperature, was slowly infused.
At 08:45 hours, an intravenous catheter was inserted in the antecubital fossa and kept patent with a slow drip of isotonic saline.
By contrast, our laboratory has demonstrated that such properties clearly exist in excised eyes maintained in isotonic seawater.
An effective isometric (scalar) control is integral with respect to applied force, while an effective isotonic control is proportional with respect to position.
The catheters were continuously flushed using heparinized isotonic saline.
