Electromyographic Analysis of the Different Handlebars Grips Effect on the Shoulder Blade Fixators
Hrdlička, Vít ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: Electromyographic Analysis of the Different Handlebars Grips Effect on the Shoulder Blade Fixators Aims: The main objective of this thesis is to carry out a methodological study on the impact of different handlebars grips on the shoulder blades fixators. Result of the grip change is not only reduction of the upper fixators activity and the increase in the lower fixators activity but also co-contraction index increase and muscle fatigue reduction. Based on the hypothesis we assumed that the highest activity rate of the lower blades fixators and the lowest activity rate of the upper blades fixators will be during the handlebars brakes grip. The highest co- contraction index will occur during the handlebar brakes grip and the maximum muscular fatigue will occur during the grip at the top of the handlebars. The first part of the thesis is focused on the literature search and facts retrieval pertaining to the studied issue. In the second special part of the thesis we conducted a research during which the muscle activity of the upper and lower blade fixators was recorded. Three different handlebars grips were considered during the measurement using the cycle ergometer. Methods: Muscle activity was scanned and recorded using surface EMG. Maximal voluntary contraction of selected muscles based on...

Loučková, Zuzana ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: Electromyographic analysis of the influence of vibrating dumbbell on upper extremity muscles Objective: The main purpose of this study was to compare the electric activity of m. biceps and triceps brachii, and upper and lower part of m. trapezius, during exercises both with a vibrating dumbbell, and a dumbbell without vibrations. Furthermore, our objective was to compare the muscle activity during static stress (dumbbell kept in one position), and dynamic stress with the vibrating dumbbell (moving in the elbow joint). Methods: Surface electromyography was chosen as an objectification method. Nine healthy women of age between 23 and 26 years participated in this study. A dumbbell of 1, 5 kg weight, 36 Hz vibrating frequency and 1,3 mm amplitude was used. Results: An increase of electrical activity can be observed in all assessed muscles when stimulated with vibrations. However, this increase can be considered as statistically significant only in case of static stress of the m. biceps and triceps brachii. Results also indicate high activity of the upper part of m. trapezius during exercise with activated vibrations. Key words: vibrations, vibrating dumbbell, vibration training, electromyographic analysis
