Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to investigate the region-specific activation of agonistic muscles during a session of resistance training. Untrained male individuals required to perform single-joint (knee joint extension) and multi-joint actions (hip joint extension, knee joint extension, and ankle joint plantarflexion). The muscle activation of each of the quadriceps femoris during these actions was measured by surface electromyography. The muscle activation during the single- and multi-joint actions was different between muscles and between regions within a muscle. The results of the present study suggest that multi-joint action is recommended as a training exercise for the medial regions of the vastus lateralis and the vastus medialis, and single-joint action is recommended as a training exercise for the rectus femoris.
