Figure 5.

(A,B) $E_{ms}$ of the sEMG signals during the first, second and last 10 Reps of biceps curls. When exercise was performed immediately after sham control, the ANOVA yielded F = 4.77 and p = 0.0152; when exercise was performed immediately after cupping therapy, the ANOVA yielded F = 3.66 and p = 0.0367; when exercise was performed 24 h after sham control, the ANOVA yielded F = 5.72 and p = 0.0073; when exercise was performed 24 h after cupping, the ANOVA yielded F = 0.55 and p = 0.5803. (C,D) Relative changes of $E_{ms}$ during the second and last 10 Reps. The results are represented as mean ± standard error. ***, p < 0.001; **, p < 0.01; *, p < 0.05.
