Table 2. Comparison of muscle activity of SA and PM depending on the posture during shoulder-strengthening exercise
Muscle | Mean±SD (%MVIC) | F value | p value |
Side-lying | Standing | Supine |
SA | 83.17±9.23 | 75.25±14.02 | 71.95±16.52 | 6.59 | 0.002* |
PM | 71.20±16.65 | 86.69±11.11 | 79.85±14.40 | 9.19 | 0.001* |
SA, serratus anterior; PM, pectoralis major; SD, standard deviation; MVIC, maximal voluntary isometric contraction.
