Maximal isometric strength and maximal dynamic strength: Is there a link?

What is the relationship between isometric testing and dynamic tasks? Is there still a place for isometric testing? Historically, there has been limited relationship between dynamic actions and maximal force produced during isometric assessments. However, in the early 90s, upright, multi-joint tests such as the isometric squat and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) appeared in the literature. The peak force derived from these tests demonstrated stronger cross sectional relationships to dynamic performance than previous tests. Nonetheless, dynamic measures of maximal strength (e.g., 1RM squat) wil...
