The purpose of this article was to review the data on the relationship between multi-joint
isometric strength test (IsoTest) force-time characteristics (peak force, rate of force development
and impulse) and dynamic performance that is available in the current literature. Four electronic
databases were searched using search terms related to IsoTest. Studies were considered eligible if
they were original research studies that investigated the relationships between multi-joint IsoTest and
performance of dynamic movements; published in peer-reviewed journals; had participants who
were athletes or active individuals who participate in recreational sports or resistance training, with
no restriction on sex; and had full text available. A total of 47 studies were selected. These studies
showed significant small to large correlations between isometric bench press (IBP) force-time variables
and upper body dynamic performances (r2 = 0.221 to 0.608, p < 0.05) and significant small to very
large correlation between isometric squat (ISqT) (r2 = 0.085 to 0.746, p < 0.05) and isometric mid-thigh
pull (IMTP) (r2 = 0.120 to 0.941, p < 0.05) force-time variables with lower body dynamic performances.
IsoTest force-time characteristics were shown to have small to very large correlations with dynamic
performances of the upper and lower limbs as well as performance of sporting movements (r2 = 0.118
to 0.700, p < 0.05). These data suggest that IsoTest force-time characteristics provide insights into the
force production capability of athletes which give insight into dynamic performance capabilities.
