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...

Eccentric exercises are increasingly prescribed in the assessment and rehabilitation of musculo-skeletal injuries and disorders [1,2]. Under experimental conditions, researchers have also used isokinetic tools for investigating delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induced by repeated eccentric bouts of contraction [3]. A better knowledge of the cardiovascular and metabolic response to maximal i...

Stack and duct analyses have been conducted on textile finishing ranges processing cottrn and synthetic fibers. Analytical methods used include gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy and gravimetric analysis. Synthetic fiber spin finish, knitting lubricanis and cotton resin finishes were identitied in stack samples. When particulate loading was of interest, isokinetic samples of the stack ga...

The “isokinetic relationship” is a purported linear relationship among the enthalpies and entropies of activation along a series of reactions. The standard technique for determining whether an isokinetic relationship holds for a particular group of reactions is incorrect, and will “discover” the relationship where it does not exist. The paper describes an amusing example of its failure, shows w...

Background/Aim: Muscle strength and endurance recovery of the quadriceps after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is necessary for normal knee function. In addition to use isokinetic dynamometer diagnostic purposes, its possible therapeutic effect also important, ie targeted correction measured muscle deficit. This work was aimed examine level 6 months in patients who performed training ...

The aim of this study was to compare isokinetic strength performance profiles in elite soccer players across different field positions. A total of 111 elite international players of Polish Ekstraklasa (the top division in Poland) were examined during the 2010-2015 seasons. The players were classified into six positional roles: central defenders (CD), external defenders (ED), central midfielders...

Purpose: This research aims to determine the effect of kinesiotaping application on wheelchair basketball players’ shoulders. 
 Methods: A total twelve players from TSK Karagücü team were involved in this research. The average age subjects was 31.17±7.90 years and mean body mass index 25.41±6.96 kg/cm2. Subjects assessed before after combined kinesiotape deltoideus muscle. Muscle facilitat...

The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the mechanomyographic (MMG) responses to maximal eccentric isokinetic muscle actions. Eight adult male volunteers [age 22 +/- 2 (SD) yr] performed maximal eccentric muscle actions of the leg extensors at 60, 90, 120, and 180 degrees /s on a Cybex 6000 isokinetic dynamometer. MMG was detected by a piezoelectric crystal contact sensor placed...

Shoulder isokinetic assessment: A critical analysis B. Forthomme, D. Maquet, J.M. Crielaard and J.L. Croisier Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, CHU Sart Tilman, Li ège, Belgium Objectives: The literature dealing with shoulder isokinetic assessment presents some contradictions in methodological aspects, protocol design and even muscles targeted [1]. Nevertheless, quantitative a...
