Overview
In this experiment the relationship between muscles of lower extremities/back muscles and air/water was processed and analyzed. The main goal was to compare timing of muscles of lower extremities (m. biceps femoris, m. gastrocnemius lateralis, m. vastus medialis, m. tibialis anterior) and of back muscles (mm. paravertebrales dx. a mm. paravertebrales sin. in lumbal spine) during cycling on land and in water. The same aqua bike Sapilo was used for both environments. Timing of muscles is similar for both environments. The influence of water was reflected in the speed of pedaling and in the level of muscle activity.
Key words:
surface electromyography, Water Surface EMG, timing, aqua bike
