Résumé

Objective: To assess the effect of pelvic stabilization and hip position on the electromyographic activity of trunk extensors during Roman chair exercise. A secondary objective was to compare genders. Design: Repeated measures. Subjects: Eleven men and 11 women volunteers.

Methods: Five trunk flexion-extension cycles for 3 Roman chair conditions: (i) pelvis unrestrained; (ii) pelvis restrained; and (iii) hip at 40° flexion. Electromyographic signals were recorded on the back muscles, as well as on the gluteus maximus and biceps femoris. The percentage of electro¬myographic amplitude relative to the maximal activity was used to assess the level of muscular activation of each muscle group across the exercises.

Results: For both genders, the Roman chair conditions did not influence the activity of the back and gluteus muscles. The hip-at-40°-flexion condition significantly reduced the activity of the biceps femoris (average of 4–18%) relative to the other 2 conditions. Gender differences were observed on the activity of the biceps femoris in all Roman chair conditions.

Conclusion: The hip-at-40°-flexion condition would allow the Roman chair exercise to train the targeted back muscles more specifically by overloading them over a longer duration in order to induce physiological changes.
