Coactivation of the shoulder and arm muscles during closed kinetic chain exercises on an unstable surface.
Journal Title: Singapore Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 52, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the electromyography index of muscle coactivation of the following muscle pairs: posterior deltoid and pectoralis major (PD/PM); triceps brachii and biceps brachii (TB/BB); and serratus anterior and upper trapezius (SA/UT) during three different closed kinetic chain exercises (wall-press, bench-press and push-up) on an unstable surface at the maximal load.
