The Effects of Eccentric-Concentric Isokinetic Muscle Strength Training on Quadriceps Femoris Muscle Architecture, Muscle Strength and Proprioception in Healthy Young People

Objective: This study aimed to compare and evaluate the efficacy of eccentric and concentric training on quadriceps femoris muscle architecture, muscle strength and proprioception in healthy young people. Materials and Methods: Sixty healthy subjects were divided into two groups concentric training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=30);, and eccentric training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=30);. The outcome measurements were Quadriceps Femoris insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(QF); muscle architecture, muscle strength and knee proprioception. The training was carried out on the subjects’ dominant side leg insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(right);, and the participants were trained three times a week for 12 weeks. The measurements were applied before and after training. QF muscle architecture was assessed by using ultrasonography. Isokinetic muscle strength and knee proprioception were assessed with the isokinetic dynamometer. Results: The results showed a significant increase in QF architecture, muscle strength and knee proprioception after the training in the two groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 0.05);. Conclusion: Training techniques, including eccentric and concentric training, positively affected QF muscle architecture, muscle strength, and knee proprioception insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 0.05);.
