| Abstract: | Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a strategic
strength resistance exercise program on the isokinetic muscular function of the ankle
joint. Subjects] This study included 22 males in their twenties who were diagnosed with
functional injury of the ankle joint. Methods] To strengthen plantar flexion and
dorsiflexion of the ankle joint, 8 weeks of weight, resistance band, and plyometric
training, and training using props were performed. Results] A medical examination by
interview indicated that pain, swelling, instability, running, and support capacity of the
ankle joint significantly improved with the strategic strength resistance exercise
program. For the isokinetic peak torque of the ankles, significant differences were
observed in right plantar flexion and bilateral dorsiflexion. Conclusion] The strategic
strength resistance exercise program is highly recommended for the functional stability of
the ankle joint. Efficient exercise therapy is useful for muscle damage prevention, muscle
strengthening, and functional interventions.Key words: Ankle joint, Isokinetic, Muscular function |
