Comparative Analysis Between Electrical Muscle Activity In Water And Soil

October 21, 2013 updated by: Universidade do Vale do Paraíba

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN THE ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY WITH AND WITHOUT MUSCULAR STRENGTH IN WATER AND SOIL

Muscle activity in the aquatic environment was investigated while performing different exercises by electromyography analysis, due to conflicting results in the literature in relation to the floor. This study evaluated and compared the electrical activity of the rectus femoris and biceps femoris, in aquatic method and on the floor, during flexion and knee extension exercises with and without load.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN THE ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY WITH AND WITHOUT MUSCULAR STRENGTH IN WATER AND SOIL
Time Frame: April-October 2013
It is believed that there is a decrease in muscle electrical activity following the exercises without resistance in the heated water in comparison with cold water and soil due to muscle relaxation and a reduction of the viscosity of water. Considering the resistance exercises, it is believed that there is an increase in muscle electrical activity when held in cold water in comparison with heated water and soil due to the increased viscosity of water.
