Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise method through elastic line on muscle activity and muscle thickness of trunk muscles in healthy individuals. In 19 adult males, exercise A (scapula adduction), exercise B (scapula adduction and external rotation), and exercise C (cross movement of limbs) were applied with an elastic line. Electromyography was used to measure back muscles (latissimus dorsi and erector spinae) and ultrasonography was used to examine abdominal muscles (external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominis). In the present results, there was a significant difference in latissimus dorsi, erector spinae, and internal oblique muscle (p<.05). Motion of scapula adduction using an elastic line could be suggested as an intervention method to improve body stability.
