Isokinetic exercise
Isokinetic exercise has been studied in 2 papers since 2022: 1 trial and 1 observational study in people. The newest paper, Sep 2, 2025: “Effects of isokinetic exercises on balance, proprioception, quality of life, and kinesiophobia in multiple sclerosis”.

What did studies of Isokinetic exercise find?
3Studies of Isokinetic exercise measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are muscle strength (1 study), quality of life (1) and balance (1).
Muscle strength

1 study
Muscle strength
upin humans1
Isokinetic exercise improves muscle strength in humans (p = 0.001).
“and the quadriceps muscle strength at 180°/s angular velocity in the less affected leg (p = 0.001) compared to home exercises.”
