Summary Isokinetic ankle plantar- and dorsal-flexion torques, IPF and IDF, respectively, were measured in twenty-five physically healthy athletes, fifteen males and ten females, with simultaneous recording of rectified, linearly enveloped surface electromyograms, and peak electromyographic tensions (PEMG). Angular delays from the start of motion to occurrence of peak torques were also registered. Manoeuvres were performed in two knee positions. For comparison of strength 30 non-athletic (untrained) controls were included. IPF, but not IDF, was greater in the trained than in the untrained subjects. Formulae for estimation of IPF at 30
