Isokinetic Shoulder Torque Development in Children Six through Twelve Years Old
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Muscle strength is necessary for optimal posture and efficient movement to occur. It enables individuals to perform everyday activities without undue fatigue. The purpose of this study was to establish a reference data of isokinetic strength measurements of shoulder flexors and extensors muscles by gender and age. One hundred healthy non-athletic children (50 boys and 50 girls) aged 8 to12 years participated in this study. They were assessed using Biodex isokinetic dynamometer at two angular velocities (60 and 180 degrees per second.). The results revealed significant increase in isokinetic strength with gender differences at both testing speeds from 8 to 12 years of age
