“…They were based upon a number of EMG studies that have evaluated the muscle activation of the gluteal muscles 27 , adductors 28 , abdominal muscles 29 , abductors 30 and hip flexors 31 . Previously reductions in adductor strength have been observed and explained by fatigue of those associated muscles 20 .…”

“…Since one of our goals was to contrast RA electrical activity post-interventions, relative to baseline, results suggest that only URA had significant improvement after CK, while LRA portion showed a non-significant trend. Abdominal muscular activation following CK is well demonstrated [8][9][10]14,23,25,28,29]. Findings suggest that superior chains of the RA are activated during abdominal flexion, demonstrating that this muscle is requested during exercise [28,30].…”

“…Few studies have investigated the electromyographic activity and strength during PME, and none of them had this follow-up investigation [18,21]. CK, however, includes several modes of exercises to improve strength an has been well investigated [9,10,22,23]. By comparing both methods in a longitudinal study, differences in the electrical activation associated to the force generated may be identified.…”

The aim of this feasibility study was to contrast rectus abdominis (RA) muscle strength and electrical activity after two abdominal training protocols, conventional kinesiotherapy (CK) and Pilates mat exercises (PME). 13 participants were randomized to one of two groups: CK and PME, and were trained accordingly. The upper rectus abdominis (URA) and lower rectus abdominis (LRA) were independently examined and inter and intra group comparisons were done. Findings demonstrate a significant increase in RA strength after both protocols, relative to baseline. Significantly increased electrical activation was seen in the URA after CK. Training with PME, although as efficient as CK in strength improvement, produced decreased activation level of muscles. CK training induced an opposite result. The differences after training suggest that CK and PME training programmers may strength RA, but the neuromuscular activation strategies for that are not the same. PME can be incorporated into protocols to improve abdominals strength, and trunk stabilization.

“…For the triceps brachii long head and biceps brachii muscles, the electrodes were positioned following SENIAM recommendations 20 . The fixation of the surface electrodes over the remaining muscles followed recommendations from the previous articles 14,21,22 . Data were collected at a 2000Hz frequency.…”

Aims: This study aimed to analyze the effect of verbal instruction on myoelectric activity (EMG) of the elbow flexors and shoulder extensors muscles during seated row exercise at 70%1RM, in trained and untrained individuals. Methods: The study sample comprised of seven males (21 ± 1.9 years) who had not practiced resistance training for at least one year (untrained group), and eight males (23 ± 2.6 years) who had regularly practice strength training for 2.4 ± 0.7 years (trained group). All individuals performed the seated row exercise with 70%1RM in conditions with and without verbal instruction. The EMG of the latissimus dorsi, teres major, posterior deltoid, triceps brachii long head and biceps brachii were measured. Results: There was no effect of verbal instruction on EMG at any muscle analyzed, for both groups. There was a difference between groups only for the teres major and triceps brachii (p < 0.05). Untrained individuals had greater myoelectric activity in teres major and triceps brachii long head muscles compared to the trained group during the exercise.

Electromyographic Analysis of Traditional and Nontraditional Abdominal Exercises: Implications for Rehabilitation and Training

Abstract: The results reveal that knee loading is an effective means to enhance bone formation in the tibial diaphysis in a loading frequency-dependent manner without inducing significant in situ strain at the site of bone formation.
