Key result
An adaptive filtering method using EMG sensors placed on the distal pectoral muscle successfully reduced motion and muscle artefacts in ECGs recorded from five rowers.
An EMG-based adaptive filtering method effectively reduces motion and muscle artifacts in the ECGs of rowers, improving signal quality for cardiac assessment during sports.

May aid ECG monitoring in rowers; leaves open validation in larger cohorts and other activities.
Celka et al. (2006) studied Motion and muscle artefacts in electrocardiograms (n=5). EMG sensor-based adaptive filtering vs. Original signals without noise reduction was evaluated on Signal-to-noise ratio gain and modified Carmeli's synchronization index. An adaptive filtering method using EMG sensors placed on the distal pectoral muscle successfully reduced motion and muscle artefacts in ECGs recorded from five rowers.
