| Popis: |
This study compares the electromyographic activity (EMG) of different muscle groups (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius) of the lower limbs when performing a traditional seated leg press (SLP) with a classic piece of outdoor fitness equipment (OFE-SLP), and with a new OFE leg press that allows the user to adjust the intensity of the exercise by means of a selectorized system (BIOFIT-LP). It was found that the EMG of the OFE-SLP was significantly lower than that of the SLP, but similar activations to those of the SLP were achieved with the BIOFIT-LP. In conclusion, the inclusion of a system to be able to change intensity of the exercise in OFE achieves an EMG activity similar to traditional machinery in trained young men. |
