Evaluation of Muscle Strength Among Different Sports Disciplines: Relevance for Improving Sports Performance.

Abstract

A pilot cross-sectional study among 262 service sportsmen belonging to different sports disciplines was carried out to evaluate various indicators of muscle strength, such as peak torque, peak torque to weight, time to peak torque, maximum power, explosive work etc., using isokinetic testing during flexion and extension of the knee joint in sitting positions at different angles. It was found that peak torque varied significantly among the various sports disciplines depending on the requirement of each sports discipline (p < 0.01). The relevance, advantages and limitations of the tests to enhance sports performance have been discussed. However, discussion has been restricted to review of western literature on the subject as no Indian studies in the field were available for comparison.
