“…However, this assessment does not provide information on imbalance changes after repeated muscular contractions. In a recent study of Bampouras (2010), the author suggested that the results indicate that high intensity activity increases lower limb strength imbalance. The implication of this research, according to authors, is that assessment activities conducted during the rested state may not accurately reflect the true strength difference between limbs, leading to inaccurate training or rehabilitation protocols.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two training protocols on the isokinetic performance of athletes. The study was conducted in 38 athletes, (age 23.3 ± 3.6 years) participating in national level leagues of different sports, whose initial concentric hamstrings-to-quadriceps (conH/Q) torque ratio was lower than 0.5. During seasonal testing, an isokinetic measurement of knee extensors and flexors was performed at 60°/s. The athletes were divided into two groups. Nineteen athletes performed the isokinetic training protocol (IT) while the second group of 19 athletes followed the isotonic training protocol (RT). Both protocols lasted 4 weeks. After completing the training protocols, both groups underwent a final isokinetic testing. The isokinetic data revealed significant increases after training in measures of peak torque in both extensor and flexor muscle groups, in both the IT and RT study groups (p < 0.05). There were significant increases (p< 0.05) in conH/Q ratio in both groups after the implemented protocols, but greater in IT group. Consequently, applied IT protocol induced changes in working muscles, thereby restoring detected asymmetry to an acceptable balance more efficiently compared to RT protocol.

The scientific leading of the training process requires regular assessments of the exercise capacity and its dynamics. The concept of the method used for this application and carried out on a sample of Taekwondo athletes is trying to find the adequate solution in order to simultaneously meet two criteria: the attribute of significance of the motricity investigation and the feature of practicality in the sense of achieving an acceptable level of reliability and adequacy of the data while using a noninvasive device, which is also as less obtrusive as possible to the subjects. The progress rate of the anaerobic capacity and of the motric performance accomplished in competitions by the Taekwondo athletes tested by us are significantly correlated statistically with the indicators of the Myotest PRO survey, which results in a supportive argument for the efficiency of the procedure.
