An EMG and biomechanical investigation of co-activation of antagonistic muscles during high-speed movements of male lower limbs

The main aim of this study is to use electromyography to study muscle activation during natural, unrestrained movements. At total of fifty-seven male volunteers participated in the experiments. There were three main studies: vertical jumping, kicking a tethered football and isokinetic dynamometry. T...
