Özet:

 In this study, it was aimed to determine the electromyographic activations of Pectoralis Major PM, Anterior Deltoid AD, and Triceps Brachii TB muscles during push-up exercises performed on instability devices and a stable surface. Twenty-five participants aged 18-25 performed push-ups in an experimental crossover design on a stable surface, both sides utilized ball BOSU, Pilates ball, and TRX Suspension Trainer TRX. Participants completed the push-up exercise consisting of 3 repetitions, 2 seconds of descent, and 2 seconds of ascent, on four floors, respectively. Surface electromyography sEMG was used to determine the amplitude of the PM, AD, and TB muscles during exercise. The sEMG amplitude was normalized using the maximum voluntary contraction MİK method, which gives the highest peak torque value during isometric contractions of the muscles. Significantly higher normalized sEMG amplitude MİK values were detected in the PM muscle compared to the stable surface and BOSU in TRX. In the AD muscle, significantly lower MİK values were detected on the Swiss Ball compared to the other surfaces. Compared to the stable surface and BOSU in the TB muscle, significantly higher MİK values were detected in the TRX and Swiss Ball, while higher values were detected in the BOSU than in the stable surface. While TRX can be a good option for trainers who want more challenge for the PM, AD, and TB muscles, It may not be suitable to prefer the Swiss Ball in push-up exercise for AD muscle.

 Bu çalışmada, instabilite cihazlarında ve sabit zeminde yapılan şınav egzersizi sırasında Pectoralis Majör PM, Antreior Deltoid AD ve Triceps Brachii TB kaslarının elektromiyografik aktivasyonlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. 18-25 yaş aralığında 25 katılımcı, sabit bir yüzey, her iki taraf da kullanılan top BOSU, Pilates topu ve Fonksiyonel egzersiz bandı TRX üzerinde çapraz geçişli deney tasarımında şınav egzersizi uyguladı. Katılımcılar 2 saniye iniş, 2 saniye çıkış fazı olmak üzere 3 tekrardan oluşan şınav hareketini sırasıyla 4 zeminde uyguladı. Egzersiz sırasında PM, AD ve TB kaslarının amplitüdünü belirlemek için yüzey elektromiyografisi sEMG kullanıldı. sEMG genliği, kasların izometrik kasılmaları sırasında en yüksek tepe tork değerini veren maksimum istemli kasılma MİK yöntemi kullanılarak normalleştirildi. PM kasında TRXte sabit zemin ve BOSUya göre önemli ölçüde daha yüksek normalize sEMG amplitüdü MİK değerleri tespit edildi. AD kasında Pilates topunda diğer zeminlere göre önemli ölçüde daha düşük MİK değerleri tespit edildi. TB kasında sabit yüzey ve BOSUya kıyasla TRX ve Pilates topunda önemli ölçüde daha yüksek MİK değerleri tespit edilirken BOSUda sabit zemine göre daha yüksek değerler tespit edildi. TRXte şınav PM, AD, TB kasları için daha fazla zorluk isteyen antrenörler için iyi bir seçenek olabilirken; AD kası için şınav egzersizinde pilates topunu tercih etmek doğru olmayabilir.
