Relationship between kinetic variables of isometric knee extension test with vertical jump test
摘要
To determine the level of correlation between isometric knee extension (IKE) tests in isokinetic dynamometer and vertical jump test in portable force platforms.
MethodsTwenty-eight adult males performed the IKE at two angles (60° and 75°) and the squat jump test (SJ). For the SJ, the following variables were calculated: peak force; rate of force development (RFD) in intervals every 50 ms; peak RFD (PRFD) and jump height were calculated using the flight time (JHFT) and the impulse method (JHIM). For the IKE, the following variables were calculated: peak torque; rate of torque development (RTD) in interval of 50 ms; and peak RTD (PRTD). Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used.
ResultsTrivial to moderate correlations were found between the SJ and IKE variables. In 60° knee angle IKE, JHFT have moderate correlation with PRTD and RTD50 (r = 0.51; p = 0.01 and r = 0.49; p = 0.01 respectively). In 75° knee angle, PF have a weak correlation with PT (r = 0.37 and p = 0.05) and moderate with RTD100 (r = 0.46 and p = 0.02), RFD50 have moderate correlation with PRTD and RTD50 (r = 0.53 and p < 0.01 in both), and RFD100 have moderate correlation with PT (r = 0.40 and p = 0.03).
ConclusionIt is concluded that the kinetic variables of the IKE test have a trivial to moderate effect on SJ variables, so the variables of SJ could not be considered interchangeably with those of IKE.
