Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the reliability of isokinetic shoulder strength testing in regard to gender. Sixteen athletes (8 males, 8 females) were measured on the Cybex Humac Norm dynamometer.
Concentric strength was measured in 60o/s (2 rep.) and 120o/s (8 rep.). The movement consisted of flexion and extension in the left and right shoulder joints.
The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranged from 0.79-0.98 for males and 0.67-0.99 for females. The results confirmed high reliability for the specific shoulder isokinetic strength test.
Differences in reliability between males and females were not found.
