EMG profile in two different angles during maximum voluntary isometric contraction in squat exercise
The aim of the present study was to analyze the electric activity of the vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis (VL) in two differing angles (70° and 90° of knee flexion) during maximum voluntary contraction in squat exercise. Fifteen male subjects composed the sample of the study. As criteria th...
