Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of standing row exercise grip on the muscle activity of agonist and stabilizer muscles. 9 men with at least 6 months of resistance exercise experience were selected and performed standing row exercise using an elastic band with a tension of 12 kg. Electromyography was measured during 10 standing row movements according to three types of grips (over, parallel, under), and the muscles of the biceps brachii, rectus abdominis, erector spinae, upper trapezius, middle trapezius, lower trapezius, and latissimus dorsi muscles were measured. The hair roots and latissimus dorsi muscles were measured. For data processing, repeated measures one-way analysis of variance was performed using the SPSS ver 22.0 statistical program. In the biceps brachii, there was a significant difference in the electromyographic response depending on the grip type, and it was highest in the undergrip. Significant differences were also seen in the upper trapezius and middle trapezius muscles, and were highest in the overgrip. This conclusion suggests that due to changes in activated muscles depending on the grip type, the grip type and arm angle should be considered according to the target muscle development when creating a program for row exercise.
