Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the comparative analysis of body muscle EMGs according to the prop and different foot stability during Pilates bridge motion. Eighteen adult males(age, 22.3±2.1 years; height, 173.89±4.51 cm; body mass, 72.61±4.13 kg; and BMI, 24.03±1.31 kg/m2) participated in this study as subjects. The Pilates bridge was composed of a total of 9 motions, according to the props (NP, no prop; RG, ring; GB, gym ball) and different foot stability (BS, basic surface; FR, form roller; BOSU, both sides up). We measured the right's muscle activities of the upper rectus abdominis, lower abdominal stabilizers, external oblique, adductor longus, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, tibialis anterior, and biceps femoris. The research findings were as follows. During Pilates bridge motion, the use of GB was found to be more effective in activating the body muscle. And during Pilates bridge motion, the use of BOSU was found to be most high in activating the body muscle as well. To summarize the research findings, the use of GB and BOSU during Pilates bridge motion were discovered to enormous affect muscle activities. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to be able to present efficient Pilates bridge exercises for strengthening physical strength.

본 연구의 목적은 필라테스 브릿지 동작 시 소도구의 적용과 발의 불안정성 차이에 따른 신체근육의 근전도를 비교·분석하는데 있었다. 본 연구의 대상자는 20대 남성 18명을 대상으로 실시하였고(연령, 22.3±2.1세; 신장, 173.89±4.51cm; 체중, 72.61±4.13kg; 신체질량지수, 24.03±1.31kg/m2), 필라테스 브릿지는 소도구 적용(도구 없음, 링, 짐볼)과 발의 불안정성(기본 바닥, 폼롤러, 보수볼) 차이에 따른 9가지 동작을 수행하였으며, 표면전극 부착 부위는 신체 우측의 상복직근, 하복직근, 외복사근, 장내전근, 대퇴직근, 외측광근, 전경골근, 및 대퇴이두근으로 설정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 필라테스 브릿지 동작 시 짐볼의 적용이 신체 근육의 근활성도에 효과적인 소도구로 검증되었고, 보수볼의 적용이 신체근육의 근활성도에 가장 높은 발의 불안정성으로 검증되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, 필라테스 브릿지 동작 시 짐볼과 보수볼의 적용이 신체 근육의 근활성도에 지대한 영향력을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 신체 근력 강화를 위한 효율적인 필라테스 브릿지 운동을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
