Effect of eccentric-isokinetic strength training on the wavelet transformed emg of elite gymnasts while performing static strength elements on rings

Male artistic gymnasts performing strength elements in their ring routines need a high level of balance and a maximal strength in their arms and shoulder muscles. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a 4-week eccentric-isokinetic training period on muscular activation patterns in the EMG during two holding elements. The result showed an increase an increase of the muscular maximal strength and clear-ly visible changes in the Wavelet-transformed-EMG.
