Force-velocity relationship of the wrist flexors and extensors: The influence of small and large handgrips

摘要: Isokinetic concentric and isometric contractions of the wrist flexors extensors were recorded from 40 young males using a Cybex II+ isokinetic exercise system handgrips 4 cm 8 diameter: recordings obtained at velocities movement 45 ◦ /s, 90 /s 180 /s. For both muscle groups peak torque work done decreased with increased velocity contraction, however average power increased. The generated significantly ( P< 0.01) greater torque, than extensors, extensor/flexor ratio for being 0.57. No differences observed between dominant non-dominant wrist, or size handgrip used.
