Isokinetic Muscle Testing Of Algerian Professional Football Players

Authors : Ikiouane Mourad . Djennad Djamal .

Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify the isokinetic profile of soccer players using technological equipment (CYBEX 6000) at different angular speeds; then to verify the relationship between peak strength and speed and jump performance. The isokinetic parameters selected were peak force and H/Q ratio with15 professional footballers. The recorded extensor and flexor strength is comparable to the values of French professional footballers, the H/Q ratios (concentric and mixed) showed an agonist/antagonist muscular balance, our data were higher than the standard values, the vertical jump and sprint performances were significantly related to the quadriceps and hamstring maximal strength evaluated at 30, 60 and 240°/s.
