Abstract
376 Concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC) peak torque (PT) data of the dominant shoulder of 23 male and 23 female college-aged students was collected at 1.047 rad·s-1 on a Biodex® 2000 isokinetic dynamometer for the flexor (FL), extensor (EX), abductor (AB), adductor (AD), horizontal abductor(HB), horizontal adductor (HD), external rotator (ER), & internal rotator(IR) muscle groups. CON and ECC PT ratios for antagonist muscle groups (FL/EX; AB/AD; HD/HB; ER/IR) were averaged for each gender. Utilizing an independent t- test, mean CON PT ratios produced by male subjects were compared to corresponding mean CON PT ratios produced by female subjects. In addition, mean ECC PT ratios produced by male subjects were compared to corresponding mean ECC PT ratios produced by female subjects. Results:TableTableThese data show that, except for AB/AD and HD/HB CON PT ratios, no difference exist between PT ratios of corresponding shoulder muscle groups of the college-aged male and female when tested at 1.047 rad·s-1 on a Biodex® 2000 isokinetic dynamometer.
