Biomechanical Kinetics Analysis of Flexors and Extensors on Knee Joint in Soccer Players

Abstract:

Using kinetics measurement method with CON-TREX biomechanical test system to reveal the peak torque of flexors and extensors in knee joint under different velocities in soccer players. Thirteen male college students participated in this study,. After analyzing the data collected by kinetics measurement device , this study reached the following conclusion that (a) there is no significant difference in different velocities on absolute peak torque and relative peak torque in knee joint of soccer players,(b) the knee joint extensor and flexor muscles in different velocities in soccer players should be developed with balance.
