Overview
Physical exercise transforms biochemical energy into two main forms: mechanical work and heat. When performed with IsoTone—a bidirectional resistance device that adapts to user effort—the distribution of that energy depends on movement speed, resistance level, and muscular efficiency. This paper explores how these factors influence body heat production and heat retention, focusing on two principal exercise patterns: 1. Slow, high-resistance movements emphasizing muscular control and sustained engagement. 2. Faster, low-resistance movements emphasizing repetition and aerobic activation.
