Analyses of isokinetic and closed chain movements for hamstring reciprocal coactivation
Article Abstract:
A study compares the reciprocal coactivation of the hamstrings of 12 healthy women while performing high and low velocity isokinetic movements and two closed chain movements. The results indicate high speed isokinetic movements effectively increase coactivation of the hamstrings when compared to closed chain movements.

Shoulder external- and internal-rotation isokinetic strength in master's swimmers
Article Abstract:
The main objective is to establish muscle-strength and external rotation (ER) and internal rotation (IR) in master's swimmers. It is concluded that the data collected will contribute to the development of guidelines for assessing shoulder-muscle strength in master's swimmers.
