Test-retest Reliability of sEMG to Measure Fatigue in Adolescents

NCT07161531 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 27

Summary

This cross-sectional study aims to determine the test-retest reliability of surface electromyography (sEMG) outcomes in detecting levels of fatigue among healthy adolescents engaged in physical activities. It seeks to evaluate the consistency of sEMG parameters across two test sessions and correlate these measurements with both performance metrics and subjective fatigue assessments.

Participants will perform repetitive squatting until volitional exhaustion while their muscular activity is recorded. They will do so on two different test sessions with an interval of one week in between.

Conditions

  • Healthy Adolescents

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Surface Electromyography

The primary lower limb muscles to be monitored include the gluteus medius, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis (quadriceps ), biceps femoris (hamstrings), tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius medialis (calves). This setup fully utilizes a 16-channel sEMG system by monitoring each muscle group bilaterally to capture comprehensive data on muscle activity and fatigue.
