Surface electromyography during physical exercise in water: a systematic review
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Aquatic exercise has been widely used for rehabilitation and functional recovery due to its physical and physiological benefits. However, there is a high variability in reporting on the muscle activity from surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals. The aim of this study is to present an updated review of the literature on the state of the art of muscle activity recorded using sEMG during activities and exercise performed by humans in water. METHODS A literature search was performed to identify studies of aquatic exercise movement. RESULTS Twenty-one studies were selected for critical appraisal. Sample size, functional tasks analyzed, and muscles recorded were studied for each paper. The clinical contribution of the paper was evaluated. CONCLUSIONS Muscle activity tends to be lower in water-based compared to land-based activity; however more research is needed to understand why. Approaches from basic and applied sciences could support the understanding of relevant aspects for clinical practice.

Comparing the Electromyography Activity of Core Muscles During Side Plank Exercise on Stable and Unstable Surfaces
Objective Numerous abdominal exercises with Swiss ball are used to improve core stability with strengthening and rehabilitation goals. It is claimed that the stability exercises have a greater impact on core muscle activation, but the validity of this claim is still in doubt. Moreover, there is no comprehensive study on the comparison of the core muscles activity in different core stability exe...
متن کاملExercise and Heart Rate Variability in Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review
Introduction: Heart rate variability (HRV) is negatively associated with mortality. Decrease in HRV is common in cancer patients. The association between HRV and general survival in cancer patients has made HRV a valuable biomarker for evaluation of the disease prognosis. Exercise is considered an interventional strategy to improve various outcomes in cancer patients. The present paper provides...
متن کاملDetermination of Electromyography-Based Coordinated Fatigue Levels in Agonist and Antagonist Muscles of the Thigh during Squat Press Exercise
Background. Simultaneous tiredness of two or more muscles around a joint can be defined as coordinated fatigue (co-fatigue) and might occur between agonist and antagonist muscles, and vary according to the level of sporting activity levels or gender. Objectives. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of coordinated fatigue in agonist and antagonist muscles during squat-press exercis...
