Description

<p>[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscle activity of the trunk and lower limbs during change of shoulder flexion angle in plank exercises with cranial-caudal movements. [Participants and Methods] The participants were 13 healthy males. Muscle activity during plank exercises with cranial-caudal movements and static plank exercises (without movement) were recorded using surface electromyography. [Results] Plank exercises with cranial-caudal movements significantly increased the activity of the rectus abdominis muscle. Moreover, the activity of the rectus abdominis muscle significantly increased and decreased in response to the movement. [Conclusion] The results of this study suggest that the activity of the rectus abdominis muscle increases in plank exercise with cranial-caudal movements, and that muscle activity changes in response to the movement.</p>
