Velocity during Strength and Power Training of the Ankle Plantar and Dorsiflexor Muscles in Older Patients Attending Day Hospital Rehabilitation

Table 2

Velocities (degrees/second) during dorsiflexor (DF) and plantar flexor (PF) strength and power training.

	Strength training	Power training
DF median	62.9 ± 15.5	81.5 ± 22.2^*
DF peak	182.8 ± 38.5	263.5 ± 70.3^*
PF median	84.8 ± 25.8	148.3 ± 56.5^*
PF peak	217.9 ± 65.2	444.3 ± 151.2^*

Note: power training significantly faster than strength training ().
