Peak Isokinetic Torque Of Knee Flexors And Extensor Muscles Of College Football Players, David L. Boerem
Peak Isokinetic Torque Of Knee Flexors And Extensor Muscles Of College Football Players, David L. Boerem
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The problem of the study addressed knee injuries in college football. Imbalance of the musculature surrounding the knee would predispose the athlete to knee injury. Recognition of those who have muscular deficiencies would be a primary way of preventing knee injuries. The focus of the study was to determine if there was a significant difference in peak isokinetic torque of knee flexor and extensor muscles across speeds (60 degrees/second, 180 degrees/ second and 300 degrees/second) of a college football team subsequent to participation in a spring football season.

The Effects Of Four Strength Maintenance Programs On The Dynamic Strength Retention Of Football Players During The In-Season, Randy S. Whited
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The purposes of this study are (1) to determine whether strength training during the in-season is beneficial for dynamic strength retention purposes, and (2) to determine which type of strength training program is most effective in maintaining dynamic strength levels acquired during the off-season as determined by the 1-BM scores from the bench press.
