The effectiveness of unilateral isokinetic resistance training on cross-education is independent of contraction velocity: a case of female dorsiflexors and plantar flexors
Original language description
The large body of published literature has shown that the effects of strength training can transfer from trained to untrained homologous limb muscles after unilateral training. These effects on strength have been shown to be very specific to the type and speed of training contraction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 4-week unilateral slow and fast velocity isokinetic concentric training, to compare the effects, and thus investigate whether these effects are speed-specific. Forty-four healthy female students allocated to slow training, fast training, or control performed 12 isokinetic concentric-concentric plantar/dorsal flexors training sessions (3 × 4 weeks) using their nondominant leg. Participants in the two experimental groups showed statistically significant gains in strength in both the trained (ranging from 8 to 41%) and untrained leg (5–26%), thus showing cross-education on strength effects. The present study demonstrated that 4 weeks (12 training sessions) of unilateral isokinetic resistance training in the concentric mode improved the strength of contralateral, untrained homologous muscles to the same extent, regardless of the contraction velocity used in females. Furthermore, the amount of concentric overload (50% more than during 60°/s) did not appear to affect the increase in strength gains. Therefore, practitioners are encouraged to use both training speeds when strength gains in the contralateral leg are the primary goal. If the training time is limited, however, training with a higher contraction speed is recommended.
