Which of the following is NOT an isotonic regimen?
  1. DeLorme technique
  2. Oxford technique
  3. Plyometric training
  4. Velocity spectrum rehabilitation
Explanation
Answer: D -Velocity spectrum rehabilitation is not an isotonic regimen.

Velocity spectrum rehabilitation is an isokinetic regimen where a minimal of three contractile velocities is chosen for training. 6-10 repetitions are performed at each training set followed by a brief rest period. In this way, multiple sets are performed.

DeLorme, Oxford, and Plyometric techniques are isotonic regimens.

DeLorme is a progressive resisted exercise technique (PRE).

The Oxford technique is the reverse of the DeLorme technique. It is designated to diminish the resistance as muscle fatigue develops.

Plyometric training is otherwise known as stretch-shortening drills where high intensity and high velocity exercises are performed.
