Reconsidering Exercise Selection with EMG: Poor Agreement between Ranking Hip Exercises with Gluteal EMG and Muscle Force
Ranking gluteal resistance exercises by EMG amplitude resulted in a different order to ranking exercises by estimated muscle forces. For exercise selection, EMG may only be useful when comparing within an individual and between biomechanically similar exercises. Caution is warranted when basing exercise selection on gluteal EMG amplitude alone.
