Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of muscle strength by stimulation of russian current and low frequency.
Methods: The subjects were thirty young healthy volunteers who were divided into two groups including russian current group(n=15) and low frequency group(n=15). The intervention was applied totally 12 times (1 time, 10 minute) for 4weeks in each group. The peak torque and average power were measured and analysed using Biodex system 4 before the treatment, after 2 weeks, 4 weeks.
Results: As a result, russians currents and low frequency stimulation increased significantly average power and peak torque with the lapse of time. However, there were not significant differences of the average power and peak torque between the groups in all periods.
Conclusion: In conclusion, russians currents and low frequency stimulation had no differences in the increase of muscle strength.
