4. Safety Profile



Category Key Findings Implications


Adverse Effects Mild GI upset, headaches, dizziness; rare hepatotoxicity (reported in a few cases). Generally well tolerated but monitor liver enzymes if symptoms appear.


Drug Interactions Inhibits CYP3A4 (may increase levels of drugs metabolized by this enzyme). Adjust doses for drugs like statins, benzodiazepines, oral contraceptives.

4. Conclusion




Efficacy: The review shows consistent improvements in muscle strength and mass across diverse populations, though the magnitude varies by exercise modality.


Safety: No serious adverse events were reported, indicating a favorable safety profile for short‑term or intermittent use. Long‑term effects remain to be fully characterized.



These findings support the potential of isometric resistance training as an effective intervention for enhancing muscular performance and should inform future research aimed at optimizing protocols and establishing long‑term safety data.
