Isokinetic dynamometry Flashcards
What is an isokinetic dynamometer
Preferred technique for quantification of muscle strength
What does isokinetic dynamometry allow for
Assessment of muscle and joint function at specific velocities
What is peak torque
Maximum torque produced for the best rep (Nm)
What is total work
Area under the curve (J)
What is the angle of peak torque
The angle at which the peak measurement occurred (degrees)
What is hamstring to quadriceps ratio
An assessment performed by sport clubs for monitoring and training athletes
How do you calculate hamstring to quadriceps ratio
Con/Con H:Q ratio = flexors/extensors
What is exercise induced fatigue
A reduction in maximal voluntary muscle force that results from intense and prolonged exercise
What is inter limb asymmetry
An imbalance in performance between the left and right limbs
