Hi Ed

One or two older papers that might get you started but no more than that,

Thepaut-Mathieu, C., Van Hoecke, J., and Maton, B., (1988) Myoelectric and

Mechanical Changes Linked to Length Specificity During Isometric Training.

Journal of Applied Physiology, 64:1500-1505

sey, M.C., Harman, E.A. and , M.J., (1995) Resistance Training

Modes: Specificity and Effectiveness. Medicine and Science in Sport and

Exercise. (27) page 648

Kitai TA, Sale DG (1989) Specificity of joint angle in isometric. training.
