Analysis of Muscles Electrical Activities During Bench Press

Abstract

The primary objective of the study was to compare the muscle electrical activity during Bench press for the different muscle groups.The amount of contribution of each mentioned muscle during bench press was alsoanalyzed. For the purpose of the present investigation, totalof 10 male powerlifterswere chosen as the sample for the study. The analysis showed that there is a significant difference in the muscle electrical activity during Bench press for the different muscle groups. The results pertaining to EMG data of 1RM bench press revealedmaximum muscle electrical activity in case of Pectoralis Major. Hence the Pectoralis Major displayed bettermuscle electrical activity than the Anterior deltoid and Triceps.
