摘要: The purpose of this study was to compare the electromyographic fatigue threshold (EMGFT) values determined simultaneously from superficial elbow flexor muscles during an isometric single-joint task. Eight subjects performed flexions at randomly ordered percentages maximal voluntary contraction (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60%). During these bouts, (EMG) activity measured in anterior head Deltoid, lateral Triceps brachii, Brachioradialis both short long Biceps brachii. For each subject muscle, EMG amplitude data were plotted as function time for five submaximal bouts. slope coefficient versus linear relationships against force level. EMGFT y-intercept relationship considered valid only if following criteria met: (1) significant positive regression (P < 0.05) between coefficient, (2) adjusted determination greater than 0.85, (3) a standard error below 5% contraction. could be one muscle (the brachii) three out eight (mean value = 24.9 ± 1.1% contraction). lack most (5/8) explained by putative compensations which indirectly observed some subjects. In way, should studied more simple movement i.e., ideally implying mainly muscle.
