Validating the Boer 3, 4 and 5 Aerobic Exercise Protocols Against the Bruce Protocol: 776 Board #172 May 27, 2

METHODS: Eight males (height 62.3±2.3, body wt. 193.8±55.01, BMI 25.6±5.62) and 9 females (height, 60.2±2.89, body wt, 131.4±17.54, BMI 20.46±2.09) ages 18-35 with pain free knees completed isotonic testing of the dominant leg using an Isokinetic Dynamometer. Actions included knee extension/flexion, hip external rotation, and hip abduction using the isokinetic setting at 30°/sec. Two sets of 5 and 1 endurance set of 20 reps at maximum effort were completed. RESULTS: Independent sample T tests indicated males exhibited higher peak torques for all 3 sets. Pearson Correlations indicated positive relationships between body weight, BMI, and isotonic peak torques in both genders (p=.05). During set 3, positive correlations existed between peak torques of height and concentric knee extension (r-0.810, n=9, p<.01), and body weight and concentric hip abduction (r=.935, n=9, P<0.01) in females. In set 3, positive correlations existed between peak torques of males in BMI and concentric hip external rotation (r=0.870, n=8, p<0.01), height and concentric hip external rotation (r=0.852, n=8, p<0.01), body weight and concentric hip external rotation (r=0.921, n=8, p<0.01), BMI and eccentric knee flexion (r=0.934, n=8, p<0.01) and body weight and eccentric knee flexion (r=0.922, n=8, p<0.01). Taller females tended to have greater knee extension strength while heavier females exhibited greater hip abduction strength. For only body weight, females exhibited higher peak torques in external rotation than males. CONCLUSION: The higher the body weight, height, and BMI, the higher the peak torques in both genders; males had overall higher peak torque performances. By investigating an endurance set (set 3), positive correlations were found among genders concentrically and eccentrically. This information can be useful in determining future steps in exercise training to prevent knee related injuries and disorders.
