Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the muscle strength of quadriceps muscles by means of isokinetic test. The experimental objects were devided into electrically stimulated, isotonic and isometric groups and trained for 4weeks. The results were as follows : 1. the values of total work, peak torque, average power and the ratio of peak torque between flexors and extensors revealed singnificant statistically in three experimental groups(p<0.05). 2. The endurance was increased slightly in electrically stimulated group, but decreased in isotonic and isometric group, 3. The value of post training on all items did not reveal significant statistically in three experimental groups(P>0.05). 4. The electrically stimulated groups effected on increasing of muscle strength as isotonic and isometric exercises.
