Hi there,
I wonder if anyone could help me with a problem on my EMG; how to express the
RMS as a % of MVIC. I bought an EMG to do some studies/tests in bodybuilding,
as on the slow and fast reps, done in the same time frame, the fast gave out a
far higher reading every time, not surprising, as when using 80% of your 1R.M.
you fail roughly 50% faster with the fast.
Now the person I am debating with, seems to think my EMG readings have to be
changed, I am not sure on this, could anyone please comment. He says I need to
express the RMS as a % of MVIC, {maximum voluntary isometric contraction} is
this true, and how if so do you do this ??? I do not understand why he thinks I
have to do this, as surely the readouts on the machine state this, as I call
it, the impulse muscle activity. Here is the EMG I bought.
