Popis:	The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of goal setting on isokinetic parameters (peak torque and isokinetic work). An experimental group (n = 20) and a control group (N = 20) of healthy physical education students were studied. Both groups participated in a four week quadriceps strengthening program on an isokinetic dynamometer with the experimental group setting specific personal goals in each training session and receiving visual feedback of their performance. Results showed that the experimental group improved both isokinetic parameters (peak torque, work) significantly more than the control (p < 0.05) group. The findings indicate that personal goal settings when used with visual feedback might be an important determinant for improvement of isokinetic performance.
