Sentences with phrase «activity during the bench press»

Comparing the effect of exercise variation, Santana et al. (2007) explored the peak muscle activity during the bench press and standing 1 arm cable press with similar relative loads.

In summary, it appears that the barbell and smith machine variations are superior to dumbbells for producing triceps muscle activity, in addition to greater levels of triceps muscle activity during bench pressing compared with shoulder pressing.

Norwood et al. (2007) explored the effect of increasing instability on latissimus dorsi by measuring muscle activity during the bench press performed on a (1) stable bench, (2) with the feet placed on a BOSU ball, (3) Swiss ball, or (4) Swiss ball with feet placed on a BOSU ball.

Norwood et al. (2007) explored the effect of increasing instability on abdominals by measuring muscle activity during the bench press performed on a (1) stable bench, (2) with the feet placed on a BOSU ball, (3) Swiss ball, or (4) Swiss ball with feet placed on a BOSU ball.

Not exact matches

An Australian study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research showed that when weight - trained subjects performed incline bench presses, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was only around 5 % greater than the upper pec activity during a flat bench press, which is kind of a shocking discovery considering the status that the incline bench press has enjoyed up until now.

Similarly, Lehman et al. (2006) found superior triceps muscle activity during the press up with the hands on a swiss ball compared with on a bench at the same height.

While the bench press produces superior muscle activity compared to the shoulder press despite similar elbow flexion ranges of motion, it appears the load lifted is also greater, thus indicating that greater loads produce superior triceps muscle activity during compound exercises with similar elbow joint range of motion.

Saeterbakken et al. (2011) compared triceps muscle activity during barbell, smith machine and dumbbell bench press.

In contrast, Kohler et al. (2010) compared the triceps muscle activity during seated barbell and dumbbell shoulder press on a stable bench or swiss ball reporting that the stable bench in both conditions produced superior levels of muscle activity than performing the exercise on a swiss ball.

Comparing four different angles of the bench used during the narrow grip bench press, Barnett et al. (1995) found a main difference in anterior deltoid muscle activity between -18 degrees and the other steeper angles (0, 40 and 90 degrees).

They reported that the biceps brachii displayed significantly greater muscle activity during the dumbbell bench press, while the barbell bench press displayed significantly greater activity than the smith machine.

Sandhu et al. (2008) found that the triceps muscle activity was only greater during the eccentric rather than concentric portion of the press up with the hands on a swiss ball compared to on a bench.

This section sets out a summary of the research that has explored the muscle activity of each of the main trunk and lower body muscles during the bench press exercise, using electromyography (EMG).

Intervention — any acute study assessing the muscle activity of the pectoralis major during the bench press exercise

Intervention — any acute study assessing the muscle activity of the latissimus dorsi during the bench press exercise

They reported that the pectoralis major displayed greater muscle activity during the sticking and post-sticking region when performing the counter-movement bench press compared with the concentric - only condition, while the pre-sticking region muscle activity was not different between phases.

During the bench press, both the implement and the variation employed have effects on muscle activity, force and power (kinetics), and movement patterns (kinematics).

Intervention — any acute study assessing the muscle activity of the deltoids during the bench press exercise

In addition, they compared the muscle activity during a maximal isometric contraction during the dumbbell bench press and again found no difference in triceps muscle activity despite a significant loss in force output.

In contrast, the narrow grip bench press is shown to display muscle activity that exceeds the MVIC during manual muscle testing.

They reported that biceps muscle activity showed a trend towards superior muscle activity during the counter-movement bench press in the pre-sticking region, however the data did not reach statistical significance.

Lehman et al. (2005) compared narrow, middle and wide hand spacing during the bench press by comparing the muscle activity of the triceps performing an isometric contraction with the weight near the chest.

Comparing four different angles of the bench used during the narrow grip bench press, Barnett et al. (1995) found a main difference in triceps brachii muscle activity between -18 degrees and 0 (flat) compared with 40 and 90 degrees.

McCaw & Friday (1994) also found that the middle deltoid muscle activity was significantly greater during the free - weight bench press compared with the Smith machine version.

However, the mean muscle activity of the narrow grip bench press in the measures by Boehler (2011) measured 62 % of the muscle activity displayed during a close grip push up.

In contrast, McCaw et al. (1994) found greater middle deltoid muscle activity during the free weight bench press compared with the machine bench press at 60 % 1 RM but not at 80 %, although in both cases the middle deltoid muscle activity was approximately half that of the anterior deltoid.
