Abstract des Autors

In this research we aim to appraise, by isokinetic dynamometry, the behaviour of some specific parameters (Peak Torque, Peak Torque in percent of body weight, Torque Acceleration Energy, Average Power as percent of body weight and Total Work) in female athletes practising different sports, prevalently anaerobic. We examined 6 groups of female athletes, performing respectively long sprint run, basketball at high level, basketball in junior teams, ski, fencing and body building. We compared these results to the results obtained in a group of 25 sedentary girls. The mean values of the different groups increase linearly with the augmentation of the physical activity, but statistical significance has been reached only comparing the results given from high level female athletes and sedentary girls. Isokinetic valuation offers the Sports Medical Doctor one more chance to disclose concealed or misknown diseases of muscular masses of female athletes, giving a basis for their correction. It revealed low utility in the research of peculiar muscular or elective typology in female athletes performing sports with prevalent anaerobic metabolic supply. Verf.-Referat
