EFFECT OF DIFFERENT WARM-UP PROTOCOLS ON KNEE ISOKINETIC STRENGTH

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different warm-up protocols on knee isokinetic strength (PTEX and PTFLX). With this purpose, a total of 33 sedentary male (19.00±1.94) participated voluntarily in the study. The subjects divided randomly three groups as an active warm-up, passive warm-up and control. Isokinetic measurements of the participants were performed with an isokinetic dynamometer (CSMI Cybex Humac Norm, USA). Isokinetic tests were performed at 4 different motion angles (60 s /120s / 180s / 240 s). Each movement angle was performed 15 repetitions. Two different warmup protocols performed (active-passive). SPSS 20.0 package program was used for the analysis of the data. Significant level was accepted as p < 0.05. According to the results of the research, significant differences were found isokinetic knee strength in 60 s /120s / 180s / 240 s in favor of active warm-up groups on PTEX and PTFLX. Significant differences were not found in the control group. In conclusion, it can be said that active warm-up had a significant effect on isokinetic knee strength (PTEX and PTFLX).
