title: 1998 ISEK Congress Keynote Lecture: The use of electromyography in applied physiology. International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology.
abstract: Electromyogram (EMG) analyses (surface, intramuscular and evoked potentials) in studies of muscle function have attracted increasing attention during recent years and have been applied to assess muscle endurance capacity, anaerobic and lactate thresholds, muscle biomechanics, motor learning, neuromuscular relaxation, optimal walking and pedalling speeds, muscle soreness, neuromuscular diseases, motor unit (MU) activities (MU recruitment and rate coding), and skeletal muscle fatigue. This paper deals with the use of EMG analyses employed in the area of applied physiology and is divided into three sections: surface EMG analyses; intramuscular EMG analyses; and evoked potential analyses.
