Electromyographic activity of a muscular group in movements specific to boxing.
The dentate, triceps, deltoid and the middle bundle of the trapezius have been studied in two movements specific to boxing in a group of professionals. Analysis of results has shown a higher commitment of the trapezius; in the jab considerable deltoid activity was evident. In the upper-cut we noticed little commitment of the deltoid and triceps, in the jab, little commitment of dentate and triceps.
