ESTUDO COMPARATIVO DE VARIÁVEIS ISOCINÉTICAS DO JOELHO EM ATLETAS DE TAEKWONDO E KICKBOXING

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare isokinetic variables of the knee such as peak torque and relative balance of agonist/antagonist of knee flexors and extensors between athletes of kickboxing (KB) and taekwondo (TKD). Materials and Methods: Ten male athletes from martial arts were in...

Description
Summary:Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare isokinetic variables of the knee such as peak torque and relative balance of agonist/antagonist of knee flexors and extensors between athletes of kickboxing (KB) and taekwondo (TKD). Materials and Methods: Ten male athletes from martial arts were included in this study (18±3 years old, 1.75±9cm and 65±10kg): five TKD athletes and five KB athletes. The assessment of peak torque and relative muscle balance was performed using the Biodex Multi-joint System 3 dynamometer. Data analysis was performed by means of non-parametric statistics (Mann-Whitney test) with statistical significance at p
