A COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT QUADRICEPS FEMORIS ISOMETRIC STRENGTHENING METHODS IN HEALTHY YOUNG WOMEN

Purpose: This study was planned to compare the effectiveness of high voltage pulsed galvanic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HVPG); stimulation, Russian current and isometric exercise on quadriceps femoris insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(QF); isometric muscle strengthd in healthy young women. Methods: Forty-six healthy young women were included in the study. Before and after the training, the dominant side QF isometric muscle strength of participants was assessed with the isokinetic dynamometer. The peak torque and average torques of the participants were recorded after the test. The training was planned as HVPG current group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=16);, Russian current group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=15); and isometric strengthening group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=15);. All treatments were performed under physiotherapist supervision for a total of 15 sessions for 3 days a week for 5 weeks. Results: No statistical difference was found between the groups when the peak torque and average torque delta values were compared insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p> 0.05);. Conclusion: The highest rate of change belongs to the HVPG group in terms of increasing the QF isometric muscle strength, therefore, we recommend that it is preferred in clinical practice.
