Identifying the integrated electromyographic threshold using different muscles during incremental cycling exercise

摘要

Conclusions. These results show that the IEMG threshold is more consistently detected in the RF compared to VL during incre- mental cycling exercise. In addition, the IEMG threshold for RF was closely related to Tvent and provides an alternative means to assess the ventilatory threshold. Background. The purpose of this study was to identify the IEMG Threshold in the vastus lateralis (VL) and rectus femoris (RF) Muscles during progressive, incremental exercise and to relate These thresholds to the ventilatory threshold (Tvent).
