Abstract

|
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of quadriceps setting exercise(N=10) and electrical stimulation(N=10) on improvement of quadriceps muscle strength. The experiment were performed for 6weeks. The subject of this study was 20 college students(male) who had not any medical problems. The quadriceps muscle strength was evaluated by make use of the KIN COM(Isokinetic dynamometer). The electrical stimulator was used to stimulate the quadriceps muscle.
The results were as follows:
1. The mean increment ratio was 29.6% for concentric muscle strength and 36.4% for eccentric muscle strength after quadriceps setting exercise (p<0.05).
2. The mean increment ratio was 21.2% for concentric muscle strength and 24.3% for eccentric muscle strength after electrical stimulation, but did not significantly higher than pre-electrical stimulation
In this study, we have found that quadriceps setting exercise on left side affect the improvement of the muscle strength in college students (male). However, electrical stimulation did not affect on the muscle strength.
