Maximal Versus Non Maximal Muscular Exertions: A Study of Valid Measures Using Isokinetic Dynamometry
… the knee and shoulder joint musculature during isokinetic dynamometry-based testing. For development of the decision rules, healthy participants performed a series of maximal and non-maximal exertions at different testing velocities through a prescribed range of motion. Two different …

The effects of dietary creatine monohydrate supplementation and resistance training in older men
… fashion. Strength changes were assessed using isokinetic dynamometry. Both isokinetic and isometric strength were tested. lsokinetic tests were done at 60°, 180° and 240° per second and isometric tests at 45°, 60° and 75°. Endurance was measured at the end of each testing session by means of …

The effects of eccentric exercise on delayed onset muscle soreness, muscle function and free radical production
… by losses of muscle torque assessed by isokinetic dynamometry) was returning to pre-exercise levels, suggesting a temporal dissociation between ROS production and DOMS following downhill running. Circulating levels of ROS were still increasing 72 h post exercise so this study was unable …

Impact of static stretch and muscular contractions on force production within the human triceps surae muscle-tendon complex
… underpinning any changes. Techniques including isokinetic dynamometry, electromyography (EMG), sonography and motion analysis were used in three studies on recreationally active human volunteers (n=20). In the first study, three 60-s passive stretches was found to significantly reduce concentric …

Force Platforms for Isometric Hamstring Testing: Reliability, Validity and Practical Applications in Professional Soccer
… status to be assessed based on running loads. Isokinetic dynamometry (IKD) is the gold standard hamstring strength test (Toonstra & Mattacola, 2013). However, its cost, lack of portability and time taken to test deem it impractical for elite team sports. An isometric test using a handheld …

Assessing Shoulder Strength and Range of Motion in Normal and Symptomatic Swimmers
… review highlighted the limited research using isokinetic dynamometry to assess shoulder concentric and eccentric strength in swimmers who experience pain. Also, most of the studies analyzed these strength measures using absolute strength values and the conventional concentric and eccentric …

Investigation of plant protein functionality for food applications and health benefits
… function and recovery were assessed using Biodex isokinetic dynamometry and vertical jump tests, while gut microbiota-derived SCFAs were analyzed via gas chromatography flame ionization detection (GC-FID). Results showed that both plant and animal protein supplementation significantly improved …

ENHANCING EXERCISE PERFORMANCE THROUGH ISCHAEMIC PRECONDITIONING
… P=0.002 & 9.8 N.m-1 (6.1 to 13.5; P<0.005] isokinetic task were evident after IPC versus SHAM prior to eccentric exercise (EIMD). This was maintained throughout the (72-hour) muscle damage window. Lower cytokine (IL-6 and IL-1ra) were reported after IPC versus SHAM (P<0.002, respectively). …
