Abstract

Within electromyography (EMG), a particular speciality has been developed wherein the aim is to use EMG for the study of muscular function and co-ordination, the so-called kinesiological EMG. The general aims of kinesiological EMG are to analyse function and co-ordination of muscles in different movements and postures, in healthy subjects as well as in disabled, in skilled actions as well as during training, in humans as well as in animals, under laboratory conditions as well as during daily or vocational activities. This is often done by a combination of electromyographical and kinesiological or biomechanical measurement techniques. Sport movement techniques and skills, training approaches and methods, ergonomic verification of the human-machine interaction have a highly specialized muscular activity in common. The knowledge of such muscular action in all its aspects, its evaluation and its feedback should allow for the optimization of movement, of sports materials, of training possibilities and of sports performance. Drawing conclusions from a review of the EMG research of 32 sports, covering over 100 different complex skills, including methodological approaches, is an impossible task. We have attempted to set standards concerning the EMG methodology at the beginning of this review. Electromyography and sports is a vast area and a complete review is impossible, as information will be found scattered in many different journals. Consequently, important aspects may have been omitted from this review. Verf.-Referat (gekuerzt)
