Overview
Paper present a case of study, where is analyzed and then evaluated the degree of muscle activity and the onset of activation of the upper trapezius muscle, lower trapezius muscle and deltoid muscle during abduction in the shoulder, resisted by elastic band (yellow Thera-Band) in the aquatic environment and on land by 4 healthy women aged 24 y. As an objectification method was chosen surface electromyography, modified for registration of muscle activity in water environment - water surface EMG (WaS EMG). The degree of muscle activity of upper trapezius muscle in the aquatic environment significantly decreased. It wasn’t confirmed, that the upper trapezius muscle is activated later in the water than on land. Timing of selected muscles in the aquatic environment is individual.
Key words:
upper trapezius muscle, water surface electromyography, WaS EMG, water environment, Thera-Band
