Effectiveness of different bases of support during Y-raise exercises on upper and lower trapezius electromyographic activity in healthy male subjects
Background: Y-raise exercise (YE) is often recommended as an effective intervention for increasing lower trapezius (LT) muscle activation. Methods: 15 healthy males were asked to perform YE with different bases of support while lying prone: YE, YE on a Togu jumper (YET) and YE on a foam roller (...

| description | Background: Y-raise exercise (YE) is often recommended as an
effective intervention for increasing lower trapezius (LT) muscle activation.
Methods: 15 healthy males were asked to perform YE with
different bases of support while lying prone: YE, YE on a Togu jumper (YET) and
YE on a foam roller (YEF) in random order. Upper trapezius (UT) and LT activities
were measured using surface electromyography during three different exercises.
One-way repeated analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test were
used to compare the muscle activities. The significance level was set at
α = 0.017. Results: The muscle activity of LT and the ratio of
LT/UT muscle activity were significantly different among three different
exercises (YE, YET, YEF) (adjusted p-value (padj) <
0.017). The muscle activity of LT was higher during the YEF than the YE and YET
(padj < 0.017). The LT/UT muscle activity ratio during the YEF
was higher than the YE (padj < 0.017).
Conclusions: YEF can be recommended to selectively enhance LT
activation and improve the LT/UT activity ratio in healthy male subjects. |
