SEMG Activity in Superimposed Vibration on Suspended Supine Bridge and Hamstring Curl.

ABSTRACT: Traditionally in strength and conditioning environments, vibration has been transmitted using platforms, barbells, dumbbells, or cables but not suspension devices. This study aimed to examine the effects on the lower limb of applying superimposed vibration on a suspension device. Twenty-one physically active men and women performed supine bridge and hamstring curl exercises in three suspended conditions (non-vibration, vibration at 25 Hz, and vibration at 40 Hz). In each exercise condition, the perceived exertion scale for resistance exercise (OMNI-Res) was registered, and the electromyographic signal was assessed for gastrocnemius (medialis and lateralis), biceps femoris, semitendinosus, gluteus maximus, and rectus femoris. A linear mixed model indicated a significant fixed effect for vibration at 25 Hz and 40 Hz on muscle activity in suspended supine bridge (p < 0.05), but no effect for suspended hamstring curl (p > 0.05). Likewise, the Friedman test showed a significant main effect for vibration at 25 Hz and 40 Hz in suspended supine bridge (p < 0.05) but not for suspended hamstring curl (p > 0.05) on OMNI-Res. Post hoc analysis for suspended supine bridge with vibration at 25 Hz showed a significant activation increase in gastrocnemius lateralis (p = 0.008), gastrocnemius medialis (p = 0.000), semitendinosus (p = 0.003) activity, and for semitendinosus under 40 Hz condition (p = 0.001) compared to the non-vibration condition. Furthermore, OMNI-Res was significantly higher for the suspended supine bridge at 25 Hz (p = 0.003) and 40 Hz (p = 0.000) than for the non-vibration condition. Superimposed vibration at 25 Hz elicits a higher neuromuscular response during the suspended supine bridge, and the increase in vibration frequency also raises the OMNI-Res value.

Project description:The primary aim of the study was to assess intraday and interday reliability of surface electromyography (sEMG) reflex activity of the pelvic floor muscles during synchronous whole-body vibration (S-WBV) of two intensities (30Hz/2mm; 40Hz/4mm) using band-stop filter and high-pass filter signal processing. The secondary aim of the study was to assess intraday and interday (test-retest) reliability of sEMG obtained from maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) test. We evaluated the intraday reliability of sEMG recordings obtained during sessions 1 and 2 performed on the same day. The sessions consisting of maximal voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction and synchronous vibration sets with 1-hour rest in-between sessions 1 and 2 in healthy nulliparous women. The next intraday reliability was evaluated between the results of sessions 3 and 4 performed on the same day but followed at an interval of 4 weeks. to include the entire menstrual cycle. The interday reliability was determined based on the results of sessions 1 and 3 using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 3,3). The intraday ICCs for band-stop filtered mean and median sEMG frequency and mean normalized sEMGRMS amplitude of the 30Hz/2mm (ICC = 0.89-0.99) and 40Hz/4mm vibration (ICC = 0.95-0.99) indicated substantial reproducibility. The intraday reliability of high-pass filter at 100-450Hz for these parameters was also substantial (30Hz/2mm ICC of 0.92 to 0.98; 40Hz/4mm ICC of 0.88 to 0.98). The interday reliability (session 1 vs. session 3) of the mean normalized sEMGRMS amplitude for band-stop filtered means of 40 Hz/4mm and 30Hz/2mm vibration recordings was substantial (ICC = 0.82 and 0.93). However, ICCs of the mean and median frequency were indicative of fair reliability (ICC of 0.43 to 0.59). The interday reliability of mean normalized sEMGRMS amplitude for high-pass filter at 100-450Hz was substantial (30Hz/2mm ICC of 0.90; 40Hz/4mm ICC of 0.73) for the 30Hz/2mm S-WBV and moderate (ICC = 0.73) for the 40/4mm S-WBV. The ICCs for mean and median sEMG frequency ICCs indicated slight to fair reproducibility (ICC of 0.16 to 0.56). The intraday reliability of the strongest MVC contraction and average MVC turned out substantial (ICC = 0.91-0.98). The interday reliability coefficients of the strongest MVC contraction and average MVCs were 0.91 and 0.82, respectively. Concluded, the intraday reliability proved satisfactory for all variables; however, the interday comparison showed sufficient ICC levels only for the mean amplitude. We therefore recommend this parameter should be used when analyzing PFM sEMG recorded during vibration. ICCs of the mean and median frequency for both signal processing methods were indicative of insufficient reliability and did not reach the threshold for usefulness. Our study showed similar reliability of PFM sEMG during S-WBV in case of the two filtering methods used.
