Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 I have been recently reading through Enoka's Neuromechanics Of Human Movement{third edition). It is quite the read if anyone is looking for some heavy duty academia! Anyway, Enoka introduces a term, " anisometric " that I had never seen before. The term is meant to encompess movements that contain both concentric and eccentric muscle actions. This seems similar to " auxotonic, " or " allodynamic " definitions but I'm curious if this is the new scientific term for what I just think of as " dynamic " muscle actions. The day we can all just speak the same language will sure make things easier as it seems so much time is wasted in just understanding which viewpoint someone is coming from! On another note, Enoka made quite a few references to the great late Dr. Mel Siff. It's still such a shocker that he is gone! I miss his posts.
