Sentences with phrase «upper trapezius muscle activity»

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).

It appears that upper trapezius muscle activity is greater upright rowing movements, while middle trapezius muscle activity seems to be higher during horizontal rowing movements, such as the bent - over row.

Both middle and upper trapezius muscle activity are maximised by using a pronated forearm position in the pull up.

It appears that relative load and shoulder abduction (coronal plane) affect upper trapezius muscle activity, while load - type appears to have no affect.

They report that upper trapezius muscle activity was no different during the concentric portion between grip widths equalling 50, 100 and 200 % of shoulder width.

Comparing the effect of grip technique, Beggs et al. (2011) investigated the use of either the double overhand or over-under grip technique on upper trapezius muscle activity and found no difference between conditions at either 60 or 80 % of 1RM.

However, upper trapezius muscle activity during the eccentric portion was superior during the 200 % compared to all conditions, as well as superior muscle activity during the 100 % condition compared with the 50 % condition.

It appears that upper trapezius muscle activity is greater at knee passage than at the moment of lift - off (97 vs. 88 %) however it is unclear whether this was statistically significant.

They found that each successive increase of 10 % relative load produced significantly greater upper trapezius muscle activity.

When comparing the effect of load on trapezius muscle activity, Naddeo et al. (2008) compared the upper trapezius muscle activity during a seated isometric shrug exercise with relative loads between 10 — 80 % of MVC.

They report no difference in either middle or upper trapezius muscle activity when comparing the sumo and conventional deadlift, with or without a belt.

Comparing the effect of deadlift type, Escamilla et al. (2002) compared the middle and upper trapezius muscle activity when performing different deadlift techniques, namely the conventional and sumo deadlift.

Not exact matches

Comparing the phase of lift, Carb et al. (2014) investigated the muscle activity of the upper trapezius during conventional deadlifts performed with a 1RM load, and further compared the muscle activity at the moment of lift - off and as the bar passed the knees.

In contrast, Moseley et al. (1992) found that the upper trapezius displayed its maximum muscle activity during prone rowing (112 % of MVC) when using loads equal to 10RM.

Several studies have directly compared the muscle activity of the trapezius muscle across a range of multi-joint resistance training exercises including the deadlift, horizontal and vertical upper - body pulling, as well as exercises utilising different load types, body posture and stability requirements.

The upper trapezius muscle is highly activity during arm elevation and retraction exercises.

They reported superior muscle activity of the upper trapezius when performing deadlifts with 80 % of 1RM compared with 60 % of 1RM.

During isolation and rehabilitation exercises, the upper trapezius muscle is highly activity during arm elevation and retraction exercises.

In practical terms, both upper and middle trapezius display high muscle activity at knee flexion angles of 31 — 60 degrees.
