contents Comparison of lumbar and abdominal muscle activation during two types of golf swing: An EMG analysis Aggarwal Ashish Shenoy Shweta Sandhu Jaspal Singh Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) EMG modern swing erector spinae classical swing abdominal obliques Golf is a popular sport and golf swing is a complex movementwhich requires a coordinated sequence of muscleactivity. Two types of golf swing exists i.e. "Classical" and"Modern". Classical swing differs from modern swing inseveral respects, which are important when consideringtheir effects on the lower back. The present study comparedmuscle activation amplitudes in the trunk region ofgolfers during two different types of golf swing. 22 golfers(21.5 years ±3.4) were instructed to perform modern andclassical golf swing and surface EMG activity was recordedfrom external oblique (E.O.), internal oblique (I.O.), anderector spinae (E.S.) muscles of both sides. Results showedmuscle activity of right and left side of E.O. and I.O.to be lower in modern swing than classical swing (significantdifference p<0.05 in downswing and impact phase),whereas it is higher for both sides E.S. in modern swing.The E.S. muscle activity during follow-through phase wassignificantly higher (p<0.05) in modern swing comparedto classical swing. Significant differences in E.S. andother muscles activity suggest inappropriate recruitmentof these muscles in golfers during the modern swing. EMGevidence proposes that the modern golf swing producesmore extension forces in the lower back compared withthe forces of classical swing. 2008 artículo científico 1885-3137 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=71041205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=710 RICYDE.
