The Effect of Different Focusing Methods on Muscle Activity

Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey16 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of different focusing methods on muscular activity

After the first data collecting ( Demographic data, Inclusion criteria) surface electromyography EMG evaluations will be taken from 6 muscles( Vastus Medialis, Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus, Gluteus Medius). These recordings will be taken in 3 different circumstances: 1- Without a focusing method 2- With an external focus and 3- With an internal focus
