TABLE 2.
Mean EMG activation of serratus anterior (SA) muscle expressed as a percentage of maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) for 7 different exercises.
| Exercise | Mean (%MVIC) | SD | 95% CIs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower bound | Upper bound | |||
| FPP | 44.56 | 18.46 | 36.16 | 52.97 |
| CCLE | 63.86* | 26.29 | 51.90 | 75.83 |
| COLE | 46.09 | 20.88 | 36.59 | 55.60 |
| ICLE | 59.77* | 19.63 | 50.84 | 68.71 |
| IOLE | 54.95 | 22.31 | 44.80 | 65.11 |
| CS | 71.30* | 26.71 | 59.14 | 83.45 |

The 1‐way repeated‐measures ANOVA indicated a significant main effect across exercises; p≤0.05; SD= standard deviation; FPP=forward punch plus; CCLE= FPP with contralateral closed chain leg extension; COLE= FPP with contralateral open chain leg extension; ICLE=FPP with ipislateral closed chain leg extension; IOLE=FPP with ipsilateral open chain leg extension; CS= FPP with closed chain serape effect; OS= FPP with open chain serape effect.
