Isokinetic Strength of Knee Extensors is Associated with Balance in Middle-aged Women
Original language description
The aim of this paper was to identify the relationship between the strength of the knee extensors and postural stability in middle-aged population. The study involved forty women (age 56.3±4.7 years; weight 77.2±18.3 kg; height 164.3±5.6 cm). Relative concentric extension peak torque (ConEPTR) and average work (ConEAW) were expressed to assess bilateral strength of the knee extensors. Balance was evaluated during a 30s quiet stand with open eyes. Mean velocity of the centre of pressure (COP) in the medial-lateral direction and anterior-posterior direction was measured. Mean velocity of COP in the medio-lateral direction significantly (p<.05) correlated with ConEAW; mean velocity of COP in the anterior-posterior direction significantly (p<.05) correlated with ConEPTR. The findings suggested that the strength of the lower limb muscles in middle-aged women contributed to a better balance and consequently to a decreased fall risk later in life.
