Isokinetic Profile of Elite Serbian Female Judoists

2021

Elite judo athletes undergo vigorous training to achieve outstanding results. In pursuit of achieving competitive success, the occurrence of injuries amongst judo athletes is not rare. The study aimed to perform a knee flexors and extensors isokinetic torque analysis in elite female judo athletes. Fifty-eight elite female judo athletes of the Serbian national team (21.02 ± 3.11 years

Changes in isokinetic torque and muscular activity of elbow flexors muscles with age

2001

This study examined the influence of aging on torque-angular velocity relationships for elbow flexion and the corresponding muscular activity levels in order to target the mechanisms involved in the eccentric muscle action in older adults. Maximal constant angular torque (CAT) at 90 degrees was measured at different angular velocities for concentric (CON; 60, 120, 180, 240 degrees s(-1)), isometric (ISO) and eccentric (ECC; -60, -120 degrees s(-1)) elbow flexor muscle actions in older (OG; 6 females and 4 males, 64-82 years) and young adult subjects (YG; 6 females, 6 males, 19-24 years) on an isokinetic dynamometer. Myoelectrical activity was quantified on biceps and triceps muscles, using …

Effects of combined electromyostimulation and gymnastics training in prepubertal girls.

2011

This study investigated the effects of a 6-week combined electromyostimulation (EMS) and gymnastic training program on muscle strength and vertical jump performance of prepubertal gymnasts. Sixteen young women gymnasts (age 12.4 ± 1.2 yrs) participated in this study, with 8 in the EMS group and the remaining 8 as controls. EMS was conducted on knee extensor muscles for 20 minutes 3 times a week during the first 3 weeks and once a week during the last 3 weeks. Gymnasts from both groups underwent similar gymnastics training 5-6 times a week. Isokinetic torque of the knee extensors was determined at different eccentric and concentric angular velocities ranging from -60 to +240° per second. Jum…
