About
The aim of this study is to investigate muscular activations during various quadriceps exercises commonly used in clinical settings.
Full description
The quadriceps muscle is known to be crucial for the dynamic control of the lower extremity, and weakness in this muscle can lead to strategies that may result in injury. Therefore, acquiring optimal quadriceps muscle strength is essential not only for preventing lower extremity injuries but also for enabling individuals to fully return to activities after an injury.
Despite the existence of various eccentric quadriceps exercises in the literature, there is a lack of consensus on their comparative effectiveness. Hence, there is a requirement for research to explore the effectiveness of different eccentric quadriceps exercises. The objective of this study is to compare the muscular activation of the quadriceps muscle during four distinct eccentric quadriceps exercises using surface electromyography (sEMG) devices
