Knee flexor and extensor isokinetic strength measurements for the right (panels A and C) and left (panels B and D) limbs. PT, peak torque; PT/BW, peak torque normalized to body weight; Flex/Ext, balance between flexors and extensors; TW, total work; Wmax, maximum work performed during a single repetition. *, p≤0.05 for between-group comparisons. #, p = 0.06 for between-group comparisons.
