Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that different parts of the rectus femoris muscle respond variably during squats, likely due to localized neural input.
- Researchers measured myoelectric activity using surface EMGs while participants performed squats with varying weights and assessed the EMG amplitude across different parts of the muscle.
- Although no significant differences in activity were found when analyzing individual squat phases or knee angles, a notable interaction between squat phase, knee angle, and EMG detection sites was observed, suggesting cautious interpretation of RF activation levels from EMG data.
