⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

It was concluded that the rectus abdominis muscle activation was greater in the low body incline used in this study in the prone plank exercise, and the anterior deltoid muscle activation was not affected by the inclination change used in this study.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the rectus abdominis and anterior deltoid muscle activations during plank exercises performed at different body inclinations. 15 male individuals voluntarily participated in this study. The randomized crossover experimental design was used in the study. Participants performed prone plank exercises on the hands (high body inclination) and on the elbows (low body inclination). Each plank exercise was performed for 2 sets and each set for 5 seconds. 1-minute rest was given between sets and 3 minutes rest was given between exercise changes. Rectus abdominis and anterior deltoid muscle activation measurements were performed during prone plank exercises. The dependent sample t-test was used to statistically compare the muscle activations obtained in the two plank exercises. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was determined that the rectus abdominis muscle activation was greater in the plank exercise performed on the elbows (p 0.05). It was concluded that the rectus abdominis muscle activation was greater in the low body incline used in this study in the prone plank exercise, and the anterior deltoid muscle activation was not affected by the inclination change used in this study.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı farklı vücut eğimlerinde gerçekleştirilen plank egzersizleri sırasında rectus abdominis ve anterior deltoid kas aktivasyonlarını karşılaştırmaktır. Bu çalışmaya 15 erkek birey gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Çalışmada randomize çapraz deney deseni kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar eller üzerinde (yüksek vücut eğimi) ve dirsekler üzerinde (düşük vücut eğimi) prone plank egzersizi gerçekleştirmişlerdir. Her bir plank egzersizi 2 set ve her set 5 saniye sürecek şekilde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Setler arasında 1 dakika ve egzersiz değişimlerinde 3 dakika dinlenme verilmiştir. Rectus abdominis ve anterior deltoid kas aktivasyonu ölçümleri prone plank egzersizleri sırasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. İki plank egzersizinde elde edilen kas aktivasyonlarının istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırılmasında bağımlı örneklem t-testi kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizler sonucunda dirsekler üzerinde gerçekleştirilen plank egzersizinde daha yüksek rectus abdominis kas aktivasyonu meydana geldiği saptanmıştır (p 0.05). Prone plank egzersizinde bu çalışmada kullanılan düşük vücut eğiminde rectus abdominis kas aktivasyonunun daha fazla olduğu, anterior deltoid kas aktivasyonunun bu çalışmada kullanılan eğim değişiminden etkilenmediği sonucuna varılmıştır.
