The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of conventional training with that of biofeedback training for the improvement of isometric muscular strength of the quadriceps femoris. Subjects were twelve healthy young men and thirty healthy young women (23.3 ± 2.1 years old) . They were divided into two groups ; one group to which only conventional isometric exercise was given for six weeks (C-G) and the other group to which biofeedback training with a device for muscle training (muscular biofeedback trainer, MBF) was given for six weeks (BF-G). In addition, to clarify the most effective frequency of conventional training and MBF training, the C-G and BF-G were also divided into three groups ; one with the frequency of once a week, and the second three times a week and the third six times a week. The results obtained revealed : 1 ) the training using MBF was more effective than the conventional training to increase isometric muscular strength, 2 ) the most effective frequency of MBF training was six times a week, 3 ) MBF training showed an expective result in a. short period when the conventional training was not effective. These findings suggested that the most effective muscular strength training was performed as daily exercise with visual or auditory feedback, and MBF training was suitable for the muscular strength training in a short period.
