Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the differences of attaching position(wrist & ankle) of sand bags on lower extr emities dynamics during walking. The partici -pants of this study were fifteen male college students(year, height, weight). The results are as follows. First, the range of motion of ankle joint was decreased, while knee and hi p joints were increased attached to the ankle joint. Second, the eccentric work of ankle joint was increased, while the concentric work of ankle joint was decreased attached to the ankle joint. Third, rate of concentric work of ankle joint was decreased, while hip joint was increased. Our findings implies that sand bag attached to the ankle joint has a high efficiency of exercise, however has increasing the compensation in knee and hip joints. Therefore, we recommended attached to the wrist during walking exercise.Read More
