Comparing the effect of shoulder joint angle, Pizzari et al. (2014) measured muscle activity in all three regions of the trapezius muscle while performing a standard dumbbell shrug with the arms by the sides or abducted 30 degrees.

With this in mind, research has found that starting a shoulder shrug in 30 of glenohumeral abduction (i.e., arms slightly out to the sides), which is a component of slight scapula upward rotation, generated greater upper trapezius muscle activity in comparison with the shrug with the arms at the side (1).

The standing shoulder extension exercise from 90 degrees (arm out in front) to 0 degrees (by side) produced superior (67 % MVIC) triceps muscle activity.

The squat and deadlift exercise produce superior erector spinae muscle activity compared to unloaded core exercises such as the front and side plank, superman and quadruped arm - and - leg lift regardless of the stability requirement.

The plank with arm reach, side plank with arm reach, and the birddog with elastic resistance produced greater external oblique muscle activity compared to the curl up with bent legs.

Increasing external moment arm lengths during isometric core exercise, either by using extended legs during hanging leg raises, or by performing long lever planks, leads to greater rectus abdominis and external oblique muscle activity.

Comparing Swiss ball exercises, Marshall et al. (2010) assessed rectus abdominis muscle activity during the plank with arms on the Swiss ball, single - leg hip hyperextension from the push up position with legs on the Swiss ball, single - leg squat against a wall on a Swiss ball, Swiss ball roll outs, and Swiss ball full body rolls from a supine bent leg start position with the upper back on the ball, and rotating 90 degrees until the shoulder and upper arm rests on the ball.
