Table 3. Inactivity times during normal daily life based on different thresholds.

Inactivity threshold Inactivity time (% of total time)
Mean SD
90% of EMG of standing 67.5 11.9
1% EMGMVC 54.5 17.1
2% EMGMVC 68.2 15.4
5% EMGMVC 81.4 11.9

The first row represents results using individually determined threshold below standing activity (mean of four muscle groups) that is compared to the absolute % levels of each individual's EMG amplitude during maximal voluntary contraction (EMGMVC).
