Strength of Isometric and Isokinetic Contractions
Abstract
Maximum isometric and isokinetic torques of the knee flexor and extensor muscles were measured at three knee joint positions in 72 normal, health men in three age groups from 20 to 86 years. The isokinetic contractions were performed at a speed of 36 degrees per second. The isometric contractions were sustained for five seconds. Strength of the men in the older age groups was significantly less than that of the youngest group. The strength of the isokinetic contractions was significantly less than that of the isometric contractions for all joint positions. The men in the oldest age group generally took longer than the younger men to reach peak torque during the isometric contractions. The torque values provide base-lines for evaluating patients with knee joint disabilities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
