1 | 2015 thesis | Comparison of muscle activation level during performing modified RAZOR curl and Nordic curl exercises in strength training Daung Bungkong The aim of this study is to determine muscle activation level between two different exercise technique (modified RAZOR curl and Nordic curl) on biceps femoris, semitendinosus, erector spinae and lower rectus abdominis. Twenty-five recreationally active male university students had voluntarily participated to serve the purpose of this study. Muscle activities during both concentric and eccentric contractions were measured using electromyography (EMG). The raw data obtained were than normalized to determine the rate of maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). Analysis of the result indicated that there was significant difference between modified RAZOR curl and Nordic curl exercises, in term of muscle activation of biceps femoris during concentric and eccentric contraction. However no significant differences was found either on concentric or eccentric muscle contractions for both exercises in other muscle groups. Finding of the study also reveal that the RAZOR curl technique produc..... 454 hits |
