Abstract des Autors
It has been noted that the hamstring/quadriceps isometric strength ratio in men should be approximately 50 to 60. We studied hamstring/quadriceps strength ratios in collegiate varsity middle-distance runners and found that they varied between .62 at slow speeds of muscle contraction and .87 at faster speeds. These results confirm previous reports that knee flexor/extensor ratios (peak torques) vary with angular joint velocity. Physicians, trainers, and therapists should consider velocities of muscle contraction when determining hamstring/quadriceps strength ratios. Verf.-Referat
