Abstract
The isokinetic concept of exercise was described by Hislope and Perrine more than 25 years ago (5). Since the advance of computer technology, isokinetic ergometers are now available for analyzing force continuously during exercise (6), and their reliability and validity has been widely explored (2,3).
