Abstract
Introduction. It is known that the results of competitions of athletes are influenced by their anthropometric indices. However, the concept of physical development includes both a set of anthropometric indicators and parameters of the functional state of the body systems that provide motor activity. At the same time the majority of publications devoted to the study of the correlation between anthropometric and electromyographic indices relates to healthy untrained people. Purpose. The objective of the study was to determine anthropometric and electromyographic indices and reveal the correlation between them among adult people, trained to physical exercise. Methods. Forty qualified athletes-rowers, 18–29 years of age (15 females and 25 males), took part in the said EMG-study. The method of H-reflex and stimulation electromyography was used. H-reflex indices, tibial and median nerve conduction velocities and median motor and sensory amplitudes were obtained. Stimulation of nerves and registration of EMG-signals were performed with application of neurodiagnostic complex (Nicolet Viking Select). Anthropometric (AM) indices, namely height, body mass and body mass index were also evaluated. Results. It was found that some anthropometric and electromyographic indices had significant correlation. This might be the evidence of specific adaptative reactions of neuromuscular apparatus of rowers to physical activity. Correlation of AM and EMG indices was manifested in different way in male and female groups. This might be due to gender differences in adaptative reactions of neuromuscular system during physical training. Conclusion. The obtained data confirm the importance of an integrated assessment of human physical development with application of both anthropometric and EMG methods and also the significance of the gender factor in the evaluation of the functional state of the neuromuscular apparatus.
