Electromyography Activity of Selected Leg-dominant Lower Limb Muscles during Stance Phase of Running on Treadmill and Overground

Abstract

The aim of present study was to compare electromyography activity of selected leg-dominant lower limb muscles during stance phase of running on treadmill and overground. Fourteen male students ran at 3.3 m/s in both treadmill and overground conditions. Electromyography activity of some selected lower limb muscle was recorded during initial 50% and terminal 50% of stance phase. Paired t-test was employed for data analyses. The results showed a significant difference in total activity of selected lower limb muscles between treadmill and overground running conditions (P
