Abstract

ABSTRACT
This case study reports the effects of isokinetic strength training on subjective evaluation, knee range of motion,
hamstring and quadriceps strength, hamstring and quadriceps peak torque production. Biodex System 3 Pro was used
to train an anterior cruciate ligament -injured athlete for 15 sessions at five different velocities in both knee flexion and
extension. 2000 International knee documentation Committee score improved by 147% while hamstring and quadriceps
strength increased by 358% and 305% respectively. Speed-specific hamstring peak torques showed marked increments
(132% - 408%). Similarly, quadriceps’ peak torques increased by 81% to 213%).
