A Comparison of EMG Amplitude between the Biceps Brachii and the Quadriceps Femoris Muscles in Static Exertions

상완이두근과 대퇴사두근의 등장성 수축에 대한 EMG Amplitude의 비교${\cdot}$분석

Experiments have been performed for estimating the individual muscle capabilities of the biceps brachii and the quadriceps femoris muscle. The surface EMG has been recorded on the bellies of the biceps brachii and the quadriceps femoris muscle during isometric contractions at $50\%,\;75\%,\;and\;100\%$ MVC. The rectified EMG amplitudes of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) were in the range of $2.8\~3.0\;mV\;and\;6.9\~7.2\;mV$ the biceps brachii and the quadriceps femoris, respectively. In the biceps brachii, Type S motor units were recruited in the range of $41\~49\%$ MVC; and Type F motor units were recruited in the range of $51\~59\%$ MVC, In the quadriceps femoris, Type S, Type SF, and Type F motor units were recruited in the ranges of $31\~38\%,\;33\~48\%$, and $21\~29\%$ MVC respectively.
