چکیده

Clinicians frequently assume the uninjured extremity can be used as a predictor of preinjury strength for return of the injured extremity to a normal state during rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in bilateral isokinetic peak torque (PT) at 60 and 180 O/sec, and torque acceleration energy (TAE), average power (AP), and total work (MI) at 180 degrees /sec during knee extension and flexion, shoulder extension and flexion, and shoulder internal and external rotation in right hand dominant pitchers, swimmers, and nonathletes. PT values were greater for the right than left sides (p < 0.05) for shoulder extension (60 and 180 degrees / sec) for all three groups. Right side internal rotation (1 80 O/sec) TAE, AP, and MI values were greater than left (p < 0.05) for pitchers but not for swimmers and nonathletes. These findings question the efficacy of assuming bilateral equivalency for PT, TAE, AP, and MI measures in the prescription of therapeutic exercise for all muscle groups in all athletic and nonathletic populations.

Rate of muscle activation in power- and endurance-trained boys.

UNLABELLED Previous studies in adults have demonstrated power athletes as having greater muscle force and muscle activation than nonathletes. Findings on endurance athletes are scarce and inconsistent. No comparable data on child athletes exist. PURPOSE This study compared peak torque (Tq), peak rate of torque development (RTD), and rate of muscle activation (EMG rise, Q30), in isometric knee...

Reliability of isokinetic Measures

Isokinetic resistance is frequently used to strength profile healthy athletes and to evaluate the status of injured athletes involved in rehabilitation programs. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the reliability of peak torque, torque acceleration energy, endurance ratio, average power, and total work measures obtained with a Cybex isokinetic dynamometer. Fifteen college studen...

Difference in isokinetic torque acceleration energy of the rotator cuff: competitive male pitchers versus male nonathletes.

Rotator cuff function is critical to the overhead athlete. Rotator cuff power is felt to be important in the overhead athlete during the throwing motion. Little research exists regarding torque acceleration energy (TAE) in overhead athletes. Twenty-five males were divided into 2 groups consisting of overhead athletes (pitchers) (n = 12) and nonoverhead athletes (controls) (n = 13). All particip...

Comparison of isokinetic trunk flexion and extension torques and powers between athletes and nonathletes

This study is aimed to perform and compare maximal concentric isokinetic trunk extension and flexion torques and powers between high-level athletes and a control population. In addition, the ratio of isokinetic trunk extension and flexion torques was measured, and compared between groups. Eighteen high-level male athletes and 15 male nonathletes without low back pain were recruited. Subjects pe...
