The purpose of the study was to explore the effect of regular resistance exercise training applied volleyball, basketball and handball athletes to strength exercises for their upper and lower extremity muscle groups (latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, trapezius, abdominal, hamstring-quadriceps) two times a week to determine its effect on flexor-extensor muscle ratios. The study groups were composed of 36 adult male volunteers who study at Inonu University is regular athletes. They were taken from 3 groups: Basketball (12), Volleyball (12) and Handball (12) players. Biometric measurements (height, body weight, BMI), and strength parameter measurements (isokinetic knee and torso power) were taken at the beginning and at the end of an 8-week training period, with the aim of evaluating the differences of the training regime on the athlete groups. At the end of the research the results taken at the beginning and at the end of the training program applied to basketball, volleyball and handball players were analysed by using SPSS package programme. The “Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test” used to repeated double comparisons, which is a non-parametric test since the data belonging to the variables did not show normal distribution. The statistical significance level alpha (α) error was accepted as p<0.05. As a result of this study there were significant differences in the body average power values of volunteers. Basketball players were significantly higher body average power values than handball and volleyball respectively. H:Q ratio based on the level of development were found the most values in the basketball and handball players, while the lowest were found in volleyball players.
