Electromyographic Activities of Trunk Muscles Due to Different Exercise Intensities during Pulley-based Shoulder Exercises on an Unstable Surface

چکیده
[Purpose] This study examined the relationship between core stability and exercise intensity during a pulley-based shoulder exercise (PBSE) on an unstable support surface. [Subjects] Twenty healthy college students enrolled in this study. [Methods] Surface EMG was carried out in twenty healthy adult men. The electromyographic activities of the rectus abdominis (RA), erector spinae (ES), exercises with 14 kg or 26 kg of resistance and external oblique (EO) muscles during pulley-based shoulder on an unstable support surface (USS) were compared. [Results] The EMG signals of the RA, ES, and EO did not increase with increasing exercise resistance. [Conclusion] Increasing the exercise intensity to increase the core stability during PBSE on a USS may be ineffective.

متن کاملTrunk muscle activity during lumbar stabilization exercises on both a stable and unstable surface.
STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. OBJECTIVES To clarify whether differences in surface stability influence trunk muscle activity. BACKGROUND Lumbar stabilization exercises on unstable surfaces are performed widely. One perceived advantage in performing stabilization exercises on unstable surfaces is the potential for increased muscular demand. However, there is little evidence in th...

[Purpose] We investigated the effects of shoulder flexion loaded by an elastic tubing band during squat exercises, by assessing electromyographic activities of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. [Subjects] In total, 17 healthy males were recruited. [Methods] Participants performed squat exercises with and without shoulder flexion loaded by a tubing band. Gluteal muscle activities during th...
متن کاملAn unstable support surface is not a sufficient condition for increases in muscle activity during rehabilitation exercise.
Introduction Resistance training is commonly recognized as an essential component to a rehabilitative treatment plan. Modifications of various exercises are made on the belief that different types of support surfaces and joint positions can influence muscle recruitment levels. One modification to traditional exercises is the addition of an unstable support surface (exercise balls, wobble boards...
