Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the influence of
isokinetic training and low-frequency electrostimulation in three groups of
male athletes (N=20, each group). Three different training
methods have been compared: isokinetic training (IT) alone, training with
low-frequency electrostimulation (LEFS), and the combination of the two
methods. Maximal muscle power was measured before and at the end of the
training programs, using a REV 9000 isokinetic dynamometer. The findings
indicate that all training methods result in significant increase in muscle
strength. However, the largest training effect was due to the combination of IT
and LFES.
