TABLE 4.
Mean EMG activation of external oblique (ExOb) 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 | 27.92 | 2.80 | 22.07 | 33.76 |
| CCLE | 39.36 | 6.54 | 25.71 | 53.01 |
| COLE | 39.66 | 7.90 | 23.17 | 56.15 |
| ICLE | 32.01 | 3.72 | 24.24 | 39.78 |
| IOLE | 44.08* | 4.26 | 35.19 | 52.98 |
| CS | 75.40* | 11.64 | 51.12 | 99.67 |

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.
