I am planning to investigate the effect of whole body vibration training on some parameters of tennis players. In this regard maximum isokinetic torque values will be one of the variables for both con/con and ecc/con. I would like to take the measurements from ankle flex/ex, knee flex/ex, shoulder int/ex rotation(neutral and 900 abd), forearm supi/pro, wrist flex/ex. Even though I have found some certain values for some joints I couldn't decide whether I should use the same angular velocity for all joints or different angular velocity values for each joint and what they should be?
Thank you for your critics and recommendation.
Dear Ismail, if I was in you, I will try to build-up the force-velocity relationship for any individual joint, by means of an isokinetic dynamometer.
Please, take in mind that commercially available dynameters, are affected by many limitations. For example, angular velocity at the knee during K. extension performed on field, can be definetely higher than that you can measure using the dynamometer.
Thus, which is the optimum? Are you sure that athletes have their optimal torque at an agular velocity that can be measured on the dynamometer? You may refer to the following paper: Neuromuscular control adaptations in elite athletes: the case of top level karateka. which is downloadable from my RG pages.
Again it is downloadable from my RG pages

some words get lost from my previous message:
Tennis players show a lower coactivation of the elbow antagonist muscles during isokinetic exercises.

Dear Francesco Felici, Giuseppe Cimadoro and Johnny Padulo,
Thank you so much for your wise suggestions. I will read the paper you mentioned and after composing the protocol, I will write them on this wall.
Thank you so much again.
