Core Muscles Electromyographic Analysis in Collegiate Athleteon Performing Deadlift on Different Unstable Surfaces

Aim: Muscle activity analysis during deadlift is an important tool for assessing the effectivityof theexercise. Somestudies indicate difference in muscle activities when collegiate athletes performit on unstable surface. MaterialsandMethods: In this study, thirty collegiate male athletes were recruited. MVIC was recordedfor eachdeadlift exercise. Results: Isometric deadlift executed on BOSU ball resulted in greater %MVICchange incore muscles(p<0.05), i.e., transversus abdominis and multifidus while no statistical difference was found whendynamic deadlift wasexecuted on both surfaces (p>0.05). Conclusion: Isometric deadlift exercise result in significant changeinmuscleactivity as compared to dynamic deadlift.
