Abstract
The changes of EMG activities on the upper and lower limb muscles with different poles(nordic pole & walking pole) during nordic walking exercise. The purpose of the study was to investigate muscle activity on the upper and lower limbs muscles with different pole during nordic walking. Within the last six months that affect gait, such as a fracture or joint surgery inexperienced college women who is physically healthy (19 students; age: 21.4±1.2 years, height: 163±4.6 cm, weight: 52±3.8 kg) were enrolled in this study and all subjects agreed to evaluate walking by using pole. Surface electromyography systems (BTS FREEEMG 300, Italy) were attached to Tibialis anterior (TA), Gastrocnemus medialis (GM), Rectus femoris (RF), Biceps femoris caput longus (BF), Biceps brachii caput longus (BB), Triceps brachii caput longus (TB), Flexor caput radialis (FCR), Extensor digitorum (ED), and integrated electromyography (IEMG) were measured. The result showed that the NW did influence the IEMG. The was no significant difference in the EMG activity on the lower limb muscles according to the pole type during Nordic walking exercise. In muscles activity of upper limb muscles was the nordic pole significantly higher than the walking poles. Nordic walking is an effective nordic walking exercise that increases safety and efficiency.
