چکیده
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 7 weeks of isokinetic training on knee extension and flexion peak torque, torque acceleration energy, average power, and total work, and to observe the relationship between the increases in each of the isokinetic measures. Seventeen intercollegiate lacrosse players served as subjects and were assigned to an exercise or control group. Isokinetic training consisted of 3 sets of 25 repetitions at 270 degrees /sec, 3 days per week for 7 weeks on an orthotron isokinetic dynamometer. All subjects were tested on a Cybex(R) isokinetic dynamometer at speeds of 60, 180, and 270 degrees /sec pre- and post-exercise or control condition. Results showed a significant training effect at 270 degrees /sec for knee extension peak torque, torque acceleration energy, and average power, and knee flexion torque acceleration energy. High correlations were observed between the increases in peak torque, average power, and torque acceleration energy. These findings suggest that increases in average power, peak torque and instantaneous power may be expected as a result of isokinetic exercise training in healthy athletes.

متن کاملDesigning and evaluation of a decision support system for prediction of coronary artery disease
Introduction: Since human health is the issue of Medical Research, correct prediction of results is of a high importance. This study applies probabilistic neural network (PNN) for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD), because the PNN is stronger than other methods. Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, The PNN method was implemented on 150 patients admitted to the Mazandaran Heart...
متن کاملShort-Term Isokinetic Training Versus Isotonic Training: Effects on Asymmetry in Strength of Thigh Muscles
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two training protocols on the isokinetic performance of athletes. The study was conducted in 38 athletes, (age 23.3 ± 3.6 years) participating in national level leagues of different sports, whose initial concentric hamstrings-to-quadriceps (conH/Q) torque ratio was lower than 0.5. During seasonal testing, an isokinetic measurement of knee ...

متن کاملEffects of maximal isometric and isokinetic resistance training on strength and functional mobility in older adults.
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare the changes in voluntary strength (isometric, concentric, and eccentric) and functional mobility in response to maximal isokinetic eccentric-only resistance training to those elicited by maximal isometric-only or maximal isokinetic concentric-only resistance training in older adults. METHODS Twelve women (73 +/- 7 years) and 18 men (73 +/...
