Özet:

The aim of this study was to determine the muscular strength and functional strength asymmetries (Hamstring (Hms):Quadriceps (Qua), dominant leg (DL) Qua:non-dominant leg (NDL) Qua and DL Hms:NDL Hms) of professional soccer players (n= 32, age=24,4??3,83 years, height=181,3??5,99 cm, weight=78,1??5,85 kg, bmi=23,71??1,02) who will join the pre-season training period by using the isokinetic tests at 60º/s and 180º/s speeds. The Humac Norm Testing & Rehabilitation System (Humac Manufacturers, Stoughton, MA, USA) was used to determine the DL and NDL peak torque. Descriptive statistics were used for evaluations. NDL Qua peak torque values according to DL Qua peak torque values at speed of 60º/s and 180º/s, DL Hms peak torque values according to NDL Hms peak torque values at speed of 60º/s and NDL Hms peak torque values according to DL Hms peak torque values at speed of 180º/s were higher, but these values took place in the expected ?? 10% percentiles. DL Hms: Qua differences according to NDL Hms: Qua differences were determined higher at speed of 60º/s and180º/s but also these values took place in the expected 2:3 ratio. Obtained peak torque values in this study were lower according to obtained peak torque values in literature but there were any muscle strength and functional muscle strength asymmetries according to obtained values. Geliş tarihi: As a consequence, it is necessary preparing a wellplanned end-season program to develop the lower peak torque Qua and Hms values of soccer players.
