Evaluation of muscle activity on different surfaces
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate Electromyographic activation of Biceps femoris, Rectus Femoris and Gluteus Medius muscles during Tuck jump exercise on ground, tatami and wrestling mats in men athletes' to identify the changes is made in muscle activity when doing exercise on different surfaces. In this research 19 athletes (Height: 1/74±6 cm, 65/1±4/4 kg weight and 23±1/6 years) participated voluntarily and statistical variance analysis method of repeated measures was used to investigate the muscle activity in three phase of jumping feed forward, landing feed forward and landing feedback. The order of doing movement on surfaces was randomly. The results showed there weren't significant differences (p?.05) in these muscles activity rates in all three phase and just the activation of Gluteus Medius muscle in landing feedback was more. Single leg hop exercise in sagittal plane showed the most activity on biceps femoris and single leg hop in frontal plane showed the most activity on Gluteus medius. The muscles activation rates in this kinds of surfaces is similar and using different surfaces in sport activity for decreasing or increasing muscle activity is useless.
