Zusammenfassung

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements after being submerged (swimming) for 60-90 minutes. Isometric maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) on land and in water were collected of eight muscles in three males and three females (mean age 22.5±4.5 years). A paired samples t-test showed no significant differences in the mean MVC signal between pre and post test after prolonged water submersion (p
