Abstract

The paper analysis the therapeutic effects of isometric training and electromechanic therapy (EMT) of the quadriceps muscles on subjects. The effects of the training practised with the knee joint bent was to be compared with previous results of training with the knee joint stretched. 36 subjects were trained and the increase in strength was measured with the help of a strain gauge dynamometer. Again a marked superiority of the EMT over sole isometric training could be demonstrated. More over, the results showed that the increase of the isometric maximal strength following an EMT is not influenced by the position of the angle of the joint.
