In this study, we use Noraxon with the frequency in 1500Hz to collect eight participants’ electromyography signals when riding for 30secs. Then we use two-way ANOVA with repeated measures (α＝.05) to analyze and compare data by the statistics software SPSS12.0 . If the difference is obvious, we use LSD for consequence comparison. The result of the this study are as follows: 1. There is obvious difference in Extensor Carpi Ulnaris average electromyography when in the up-rise slope(p<0.5). 2. There is obvious difference in Flexor Carpi Ulnaris average electromyography when in the up-rise slope (p<0.5). 3. There is obvious difference in Flexor Carpi Ulnaris average electromyography when with the straight handlebar (p<0.5). 4. There is obvious difference in Bicipital muscles of arm average electromyography when in the 4°up-rise slope (p<0.5). 5. There is obvious difference in Triceps average electromyography when with the downward handlebar (p<0.5). 6. There is mutual affect existing between degree of slope and handlebar in Deltoid. (p<0.5). 7. There’s obvious difference in Latissimus Dorsi average electromyography when in the up-rise slope and in the flat (p<0.5). 8. There is obvious difference in Latissimus Dorsi average electromyography with handlebar, such types as downward, straight and upward. (p<0.5). 9.The average muscle activation in the slope study ranks from high to low is up-rise, flat, and then descent.
