Research About the Influence of Gaze Position Using Analysis of Conducting Waves by Multichannel Surface EMG

ABSTRACT In this research, we examined the differences between different gazing positions during training. We used multiple electrodes and focused on the amplitude and conduction velocity of the measured conducting waves, which enabled a detailed examination of the muscle contraction mechanism. In this experiment, the test muscle was the biceps brachii muscle, which was trained under three separate conditions to investigate differences in conducting wave characteristics depending on gazing position. As a result, no differences were found in the relative frequency distribution or in the percentage of the frequency of the occurrence of the antiphase conducting wave pairs due to the difference in the gazing position. However, it was shown that the ratio of the frequency of the occurrence of the antiphase conducting wave pairs could be used as an indicator of the training effect.
