BENEFITS OF ISOMETRIC EXERCISE: Core strength and balance. Rebuilding strength after surgery. Building mass. Anti-aging potential. Improved overall physical and mental health. 1. Core strength and balance.  Doing isometric exercises can help build a stable core through the hips, pelvis and spine. Engaging in plank exercises, balancing on variable surfaces and doing static holds can create a "strong internal back brace. 2.

There’s no test or specific level of muscle mass that will diagnose sarcopenia. Any loss of muscle matters because it lessens strength and mobility. Sarcopenia typically happens faster around age 75. But it may also speed up as early as 65 or as late as 80. It’s a factor in frailty and the likelihood of falls and  fractures  in older adults. Isometric exercise can help your neuromuscular system, hormones. It also can improve an older adult's ability to convert protein to energy in as little as two weeks.
