Isokinetic test

This study looked at whether drinking beetroot juice can improve muscle strength and power during intense exercise. Thirteen healthy, active adults took part. Researchers measured muscle activity and strength after drinking beetroot juice or a placebo. The goal was to see if this…

This study tested whether an 8-week pedal technique training program could improve functional threshold power and leg strength in 24 male youth cyclists aged 15-17. Participants added two sessions per week to their regular training. Researchers measured changes in cycling power a…

Researchers measure how the knee extensor and flexor muscles generate force at different speeds in male and female competitive football players. Most reference data for this kind of testing comes from male players, and it is unclear whether female players need separate benchmarks…

This study looked at how the body uses energy during two types of leg exercises—eccentric (lengthening muscles) and concentric (shortening muscles)—done until exhaustion. Fourteen healthy young women exercised on a special machine at moderate and then high effort. Researchers mea…

This study looked at 20 older women with knee arthritis to see if having different strength in each leg affects their balance, walking, and daily activities. Researchers measured leg muscle strength and tested how well participants could stand up from a chair and walk. The goal w…

This observational study looked at 34 people who had reverse shoulder arthroplasty (a type of shoulder replacement) at least one year earlier. Researchers measured the strength and elasticity of the deltoid muscle in both the operated and healthy shoulders using special tests and…
