Before andafter the training, the dominant side QF isometric muscle strength of participantswas assessed with the isokinetic dynamometer. Thepeak torque and average torques of the participants were recorded after thetest. The training was planned as HVPG current group (n=16), Russian current group (n=15) and isometric strengthening group(n=15). All treatments were performed under physiotherapist supervision for atotal of 15 sessions for 3 days a week for 5 weeks. Results: No statisticaldifference was found between the groups when the peak torque and average torquedelta values were compared (p> 0.05).Conclusion: Thehighest rate of change belongs to the HVPG group in terms of increasing the QFisometric muscle strength, therefore, we recommend that it is preferred inclinical practice.
