Bio-Mechanics
Isokinetics machines are measurement devices. They provide us with information about the moving mechanical performance of muscle groups. They assume (very incorrectly) that the muscles they are testing move at a constant angular velocity (or in other words that the muscle move isokinetically). Unfortunately, most biological joints do not possess a fixed axis of rotation…

Pre-Set Angular Velocity (PAV)
When we set a speed for the Isokinetic ROM we presume this is the speed the machine will force the lever arm to turn at (or in other words the speed at which the exercise/test will take place at). In reality this is almost true but if we want to be really technically correct then…
