Electromyographic validation of basic exercises for physical conditioning programmes. I. Analysis of the deltoid muscle (anterior portion) and pectoralis major muscle (clavicular portion) in rowing exercises with middle grip.

The electromyographic activity of the shoulder muscles Deltoid--anterior portion (DA) and Pectoralis major--clavicular portion (PMC) was tested on 24 male volunteers using a 2 channel TECA TE4 electromyograph and Hewlett Packard surface electrodes during the execution of four different modalities of rowing exercises with middle grip. The results showed that rowing exercises are not appropriate for physical fitness programmes for PMC but some of them are significantly useful for DA. The authors present some suggestions to the use of the tested exercises.

Participation of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on deep inspiration in man. An electromyographic study.

The sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), which is responsible for the mechanical action in the majority of the head movements, is also considered an accessory muscle for respiration. Its action in the inspiratory movements was studied electromyographically in 30 healthy young adults by considering the types of respiration, the different forms of deep inspiration, the breathing effort and the body position of these subjects. A prominent activity was found in those subjects whose respiration was of the costal type when they breathed rapidly and roughly and during the breathing effort. An outstanding difference of the action potentials of the SCM muscle was not observed during variation of the body positions.
