Factors effecting hamstrings to quadriceps peak torque ratio in volleyball players
Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze of hamstring to quadriceps peak torque ratio (H:Q) measured in isokinetic testing with respect to different angular velocities (60, 180, 300°/s), gender, dominant side and mode of contraction (concentric, eccentric) in volleyball players. Twenty male and ten female healthy volleyball players participated in this study. An independent t-test was used to compare the differences between gender. One-way analysis of variance test was conducted to test for differences by effecting factors. There was a statistically significant difference between dominant and non-dominant side in H:Q ratio at 300°/s in males (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between dominant and non-dominant side in H:Q ratio between female and male volleyball players (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between at 60-180-300°/s velocities by Hconc:Qconc contractions and at 60°/s by Hconc:Qecc contractions for male and female’s peak torques in dominant side (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between at 60°/s by Hconc:Qconc and Hconc:Qecc contractions for male and female’s peak torques in dominant side (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference H:Q ratio obtained by concentric contraction between at 60-300°/s and 180-300°/s velocities (p<0.05), whereas there was no statistically significant difference between 60-180°/s in male and female’s peak torques in dominant side (p>0.05). It was found in our study that H:Q ratio increases with increasing angular velocity. The findings of the present study indicated that angular velocity, type of contraction and leg dominance influence isokinetic strength profiles of male and female, consequently, muscular balance that is H:Q at the knee. This implies that isokinetic concentric knee strength plays more role in high intensity contractions and has more effect at high velocities of contraction in maximal performance.
