Area of Science:

Biomechanics
Exercise Physiology

Background:

Seated trunk strength training is crucial for core stability and functional movement.
Evaluating novel equipment for effective seated training is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

To quantify muscle activation during seated trunk training using resistance-wheeled equipment.
To determine the impact of varying resistance levels on muscle engagement.

Main Methods:

Nineteen healthy males participated in the study.
Participants used resistance-wheeled equipment under three conditions: no force, low force, and high force.
Muscle activity was measured during forward and backward movements.

Main Results:

Significant increases in muscle activity were observed with escalating resistance.
Muscles including the deltoid posterior, obliques, rectus abdominis, and erector spinae showed marked activation.
High force levels resulted in muscle activity exceeding 50% of maximum voluntary contraction.

Conclusions:

The resistance-wheeled equipment effectively engages key trunk muscles during seated training.
Achieved muscle activation levels are sufficient for promoting strength gains and muscle hypertrophy.
This equipment shows potential as a valuable tool for seated trunk strength development.
