Abstract [eng] The aim of the study was to establish the infl uence of muscle heating and cooling on knee-fl exors and extensors for males and females. The participants of the study were 10 healthy males, aged 19—23 years; height — 177.8 ± 5.8; weight — 78.2 ± 6.1 and 10 females, aged 18—23 years; height — 166.4 ± 5.6; weight — 56.2 ± 6.1, with no history of knee ligament. The study was performed in the human motoric laboratory of Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education in the year 2005 / 2006. The participants of the study were seated in isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex System PRO3) and positioned when the hip joint is at 90 degrees. Each person made three repetitions (extension—fl exion) to adapt the performed exercise. The test was based on three repetitions of full range movement in knee joint at the speed of 450° / s (corrected after considering gravitation). There was 1 minute break between each three measurements: fi rst experiment, when the knee joint movement is at the speed of 450° / s, second experiment, when the same exercise was repeated after the quadriceps muscle had been heated, third experiment, when it had been cooled. Before and after muscle cooling or heating we measured muscle temperature with a needle thermometer (Ellab A / S, tipe DM 852, Denmark). The evaluated parameters were: peak torque (measured in N•m) and average power (measured in W). [...].
