Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 24(1), e29-e38.0905-71881600-0838https://doi.org/10.1111/sms.12105https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/sms.12105http://hdl.handle.net/11452/33061The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a combined eccentric-concentric exercise program of the ankle evertors and dorsiflexors on the latency time of the peroneus longus and tibialis anterior muscles. Twenty-four healthy male recreational athletes were admitted to this study and were randomly assigned to either the exercise group (n=12) or the control group (n=12). Subjects in the exercise group performed an isokinetic exercise program of the ankle evertors and dorsiflexors in a combined eccentric-concentric mode for 3 days per week for 6 weeks. Before and after the exercise program, muscle reaction times of the peroneus longus and tibialis anterior muscles to sudden supinating maneuvers on a tilting platform, and isokinetic strength of the ankle joint musculature were evaluated. The peroneus longus and tibialis anterior reaction times showed significant (P<0.01-0.05) reductions following six weeks of intervention in the exercise group. Additionally, eccentric peak torques for the ankle evertor and dorsiflexors represented significant (P<0.05) increases in the exercise group compared with the control group. The results of this study suggest that it is possible to reduce peroneal and anterior tibial reaction times following a six week eccentric/concentric isokinetic training program in healthy ankles.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAnkle jointTibial reaction timeIsokinetic exercisePeroneal reaction timeMuscle strengthPeroneal reaction timeReaction-timeHealthyJointInstabilityProprioceptionReflexSport sciencesAdolescentAdultAnkleElectromyographyHumansJoint instabilityLegMaleMuscle contractionMuscle strengthMuscle, skeletalResistance trainingYoung adultArticle0003299152000082-s2.0-84892901055e29e3824123941193Sport sciencesAnkle Injuries; Proprioception; Ankle InstabilityAdolescentAdultAnkleArticleControlled clinical trialControlled studyElectromyographyHumanIsokinetic exerciseJoint instabilityLegMaleMethodologyMuscle contractionMuscle strengthPeroneal reaction timePhysiologyRandomized controlled trialResistance trainingSkeletal muscleTibial reaction timeYoung adult
