SHOULDER ISOKINETIC PERFORMANCE IN HEALTHY PROFESSIONA JUDO ATHLETES: NORMATIVE DATAS

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate normative data of shoulder isokinetic strength in healthy professional judo athletes. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 20 professional male and female athletes (10 female), evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer. The strength assessment was carried out in external and internal rotation, flexion, extension, adduction and abduction. All data collected on muscle torque were normalized with body mass index. Results: Athletes demonstrated higher peak torque and joint work in shoulder adduction, abduction, flexion, and extension for the dominant limb compared to the non-dominant limb (p
