Abstract

Interbody stabilization exercise was reported as important in low-intensity rehabilitation exercise, and the need for bridge exercise was emphasized. A total of 18 male college students with no knee or hip pain or surgical history were selected as subjects. They were asked to perform three sets of 10 floor-to-ridge exercises. Results of this study First, the left, right External Oblique, Vastus Medialis, Erector Spina, and Semitendinosus showed higher muscle activity and showed significant statistical differences in bridge movement over the unstable ground (p<.01). Second, the left, right External Oblique, Vastus Medialis, Erector Spinae, and Semitendinosus showed higher muscle activity and showed significant statistical differences in bridge motion than stable ground (p<001). Third, the left, right External Oblique, Vastus Medialis, Erector Spina, and Semitendinosus showed higher muscle activity and showed significant statistical differences in bridge movement at BOSU than at the unstable ground Dynair Ball (p<.01). Therefore, this study shows that bridge exercise brings about changes in muscle activity on the ground that are more unstable than on the stable ground, and changes in muscle activity on the BOSU than on the unstable ground Dynair Ball. Accordingly, it could be provided as a basis for developing selective and efficient exercise programs.
