Try this book:
Essentials of strength training and conditioning.
Edited by Thomas Baechle
Produced by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)
Published by Human Kinetics 1-800-465-4457.
This text is the basis of material for the CSCS exam. It has a great deal of evidence based information that is pertinent to Rehab professionals. After all, do we really know that 3 sets of 10 is the best [IMG]http://www.rehabedge.com/forums/smile.gif[/IMG]
Just keep in mind that many strength ratios and quantitative information on strength in general is from studies using Isokinetics which may or may not have great carry over into functional strength.
Hope that helps....

Thanks for the response.
What's the difference between isometrics and isokinetics? I'm not too clear on your word of caution on the validity of this testing.
Thanks.

shenoa:
Isokinetic refers to a kind of muslce training in which the speed (as opposed to the resistance - Isotonic) is held constant. This is accomplished with computerized machines such as the biodex, cybex, lido, kin -com, etc.
These machines are often used in research because the results are quantified and easy to analyze. The word of caution is that the resistance used is not very similar to the forces muscles will encounter in functional situations. So we don't know how generalizable the info is.
