Surface EMG

Steph, Miguel, and Munga

1. Plot the Average EMG (mV) for each contraction against force (%)

Haghighi et al (2021) studied

BT and PT and the effects on
EMG readings.

Only PT helped!

Mi
2. Plot the real-time EMG (% normalised) during the submaximal isometric
contraction against time (s)

S
3. Calculate the average EMG (% normalised) for the initial 10s and final 10s and
present in a bar graph

Lovell et al. 2017

12-week program (34)
Nordic Hamstring Curl
BF, SM & ST

What did they see?

Anatomical changes
Muscle Strength increase

How could this be used?

Part 2
Draw a scatter graph which illustrates changes in maximal torque (N.m)
with changes in cadence (rpm).

F0 = 117N.m /
Relative to Mass = 1.67N.m.kg

What is the Maximal Force (F0) in

absolute terms (N.m) and relative
to body mass?

Our participant weighs 70kg.

What is the maximal Cadence

(RPM)?
181.82

S
Draw a scatter graph which illustrates changes in maximal power (W)
with changes in cadence (rpm).

PMax = 908.2W
Relative to Body Mass = 12.98w.kg

What is Pmax (W) and relative to

Body Mass (W.kg)?

What is the optimal cadence

(RPM)?
