Isokinetic strength in weight-trainers
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1984Isokinetic strength of ankle plantarflexion (APF), knee extension (KE) and elbow extension (EE) was measured in male weight-trainers (6 power-lifters and 7 bodybuilders) and 25 untrained men of similar age and height. The weight-trainers exceeded control subjects by 21%, 25% and 73% in APF, KE and EE strength respectively.

Isokinetic strength relationships in shoulder muscles
Clinical Biomechanics, 1995The purpose of this study was to extend and refine former findings which related to strength characteristics of the major muscle groups operating on the glenohumeral joint. Based on preliminary isokinetic evaluation of five women and five men, which indicated that overall dominance was not associated with significantly stronger muscles, the dominant ...

Isokinetic Strength Testing in Research and Practice
Biological Research For Nursing, 1999Age-related losses in lower extremity strength result in functional disabilities that diminish the quality of life for many older adults. Multiple factors, including type of muscle fiber, size of the muscle, length and speed of the muscle at contraction, age, and gender, affect the magnitude of strength generated.

Testing of isokinetic muscle strength in the ankle
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1987The purpose of this study was to evaluate isokinetic strength measurement in ankle joint. The study was divided into three parts. A comparison of dorsal and plantar flexion with and without consideration to the biomechanical circumstances was done. The series comprised 15 men and 10 women.

Isokinetic strength of the neck muscles
Isokinetics and Exercise Science, 2010The variety of measurement devices and protocols being used to assess neck muscle strength hampers the comparison of data and the generation of reference data. Little is known about dynamic neck muscle strength because a limited amount of research using isokinetic dynamometry as assessment method has been published. The purpose of the research on which

Isokinetic Strengths and Working Posture
Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1989This paper presents isokinetic (dynamic) pull-up strength profiles of males and females, engaged in infrequent force exertion, in fifteen different working postures ranging from kneeling to standing. Maximum pull-up force was exerted with two hands in the stooped posture.

Reliability of Isokinetic Trunk Muscle Strength Measurement
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2002To determine the intrarater and interrater reliability of reciprocal concentric trunk flexion and extension peak torque values at different angular velocities using the Cybex NORM isokinetic dynamometer.Trunk flexor and extensor muscles of 15 healthy subjects were assessed at 60 degrees/sec and 90 degrees/sec angular velocities. Each subject was tested

Isokinetic muscle strength parameters for shoulder movements
Clinical Biomechanics, 1989A study was carried out on shoulder muscle strength using an isokinetic dynamometer device, and normal parameters were established on 20 men and 20 women for a total of 80 shoulders. This population consisted of fit, athletic individuals with a mean age of 26·65 years and 25·35 years for the women and men; respectively.

Cardiovascular Stress in Isokinetic Trunk Strength Test
Spine, 1995In this experimental study, the participants served as their own controls.To estimate cardiovascular stress in isokinetic trunk extension-flexion strength test.Thirty-one women with low back or neck pain who participated in the physical reconditioning program were the study participants.Trunk extension and flexion strength was measured at three angular

The measurement of isokinetic fingers flexion strength
Clinical Biomechanics, 1997OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of using isokinetic dynamometry for measuring the dynamic strength of the fingers flexors. SUBJECTS: Sixteen healthy women aged 19-52. DESIGN: Flexion strength was measured isometrically using a Jamar dynamometer and isokinetically using a special attachment which was harnessed to a KinCom 125 dynamometer.
