RESUMEN
The purposes of this study were: (1) to test healthy young adults' ankle plantar and dorsal flexor muscles strength, providing integrate data and scientific basis for sports training, sports injury and recovery. (2) to investigate the biomechanical rule of healthy adults' ankle plantar and dorsal flexor muscles. Methods: 70 college students (35males and 35 females) volunteerily took part in the test. An advanced Cybex-6000 dynamometer was employed. This test consisted of two sections, isokinetic concentric (CON) test and isometric test. Results: males and females adults' ankle dorsal flexor isometric peak torque (PT) increased and plantar flexor isometric PT decreased with the increasing of testing angle. CON PT decreased while the test angle velocities increased. Plantar flexor PT were higher than corresponding dorsal flexor in two tests ( P
