| Popis: | This study examined possible gender differences for relative upper (elbow) to lower (knee) body strength and endurance, as well as relative flexion to extension strength and endurance. Seven women and nine men who were matched for both upper and lower body aerobic power were tested on an isokinetic strength instrument. Absolute isokinetic strength was lower (P 005) in isokinetic endurance fatigue decrements, or upper to lower body endurance ratios between genders. These data indicated that there were differences in absolute strength between the genders, but strength per lean body weight, as well as upper to lower body ratios for strength and endurance were similar for both genders. It was recommende... |
