• reproducibility

• isokinetic assessment

The main purpose of this systematic literature review was to analyse and compare the absolute reliability of the most common isokinetic indexes used in clinical and sporting contexts for estimating the muscle function of the knee flexion and extension movements (peak torque [PT], angle of peak torque [A-PT], average power [AP] and total work [TW]). A total of 20 research studies were analysed after meeting all the inclusion criteria previously established. The results show that the isokinetic indexes PT, PM and TW appear to present moderate absolute reliability scores, while the results for the A-PT are contradictory. More research studies are necessary that analyse the absolute reliability of the most common isokinetic indexes, specially of the A-PT, throughout testing procedures that use high angular velocities, eccentric movements and different testing positions (seated, lying prone and lying supine).
