The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the training of elbow flexors through the use of 2 machines, one of which was equipped with a disc plate of constant radius, the other one with a variable-cam having a radius adjustable to muscle strength. The experiment included 45 men divided into 3 equal groups: training group A (variable-cam), training group B (circle), and control group C. The training lasted for 8 weeks, 3 times a week. In order to control the effects, the values of peak torque and power of the flexor muscles of the elbow were isokinetically measured for the angular velocities of 30°/s and 60°/s. Also taken were anthropometric measurements of the arm and the creatine kinase (CK) activity in the blood plasma. As a result of the training, significant increases of biomechanical values were noted only in group A: power increased over 20%, the peak torque over 14%. After the training, significant increases of arm circumference in the relaxed position were noted in group A (17 mm), as well as in group B (11 mm). Also, some changes in CK activity were observed between Monday and Friday in a training week. On the basis of the experimental measurements, it may be ascertained that training elbow flexor muscles on a machine with a variable-cam is more efficient for increases in strength and power, as well as for some anthropometric parameters, than training on a machine with a disc plate.

The purpose of that study was to determine the effect of training of one side of the body on changing the value of the muscle torques on trained and untrained sides. Twenty female students from the Warsaw University of Physical Education were subject to a four-week knee joint power training regimen on the specially designed stand. The same load but different rest time between lapses (120 vs. 30 seconds) were applied to both groups. The load was applied in a form of bending moment equal to 30% of MVC. Bilateral knee force was measured on the Biodex System 3 Pro under isometric conditions. Extension of the rest time between lapses resulted in a higher increase of the strength build-up. Power training causes a similar increase of force generating capacity in both groups for untrained leg. Therefore we have to conclude that there is no influence on homogeneous force improvement for untrained leg after power training.

Thirty one young men volunteered to the study. After pre-testing two groups completed 4 weeks (5 days per week) of two versions of power training programs (4x10 take-offs on a inclined plane; intervals 120 or 30s.). Additional external loads to increase external power were applied. Training effects were monitored by: maximal muscle torques (measured under static conditions for the knee, hip and ankle joints) and lactate concentration in the blood. Results of the study showed no significant differences between groups in increase of the sum of muscle torques nor in lactate. Significant differences (up to 26%) were revealed in lactic acid concentration in blood between groups in post training measurements (less while exercising with long intervals).
