Abstract: BACKGROUND: The quantitative recruitment of motor units depends on specific demands, including movement velocity. DNA microarrays differ according to sex, and these sex-related differences affect the fiber type composition. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to demonstrate inter-sex differences in the isokinetic parameters, isokinetic phases, and muscle activities and to investigate the correlation between muscle activity and isokinetic data. METHODS: A total of 41 healthy adults (20 male, 21 female) performed concentric knee extension at angular velocities of 60∘/s, 180∘/s, and 240∘/s. The outcome measures consisted of the isokinetic peak moment (PM), normalized PM (PM/BW), total work, and power, alongside the acceleration, iso-speed and deceleration, sub-phases. Muscle activity was recorded from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis using surface EMG. RESULTS: There were significant two-factor main effect and interaction between sex and angular velocity on the power of knee extension and isokinetic phase (p< 0.05). As the velocity increased, the increase in power of males was greater than that of females. In contrast, with the increase in velocity, PM, PM/BW, and total work decreased, but no significant interaction was observed between velocity and sex. At high velocity, males showed higher acceleration ability than females. CONCLUSION: The sex-dependent responses to velocity were more affected by differences in total movement time than force production. Fast isokinetic exercise should consider the acceleration ability rather than the ability to produce force.
