Description
Summary:Purpose: To clarify the effectiveness of peroneus muscle training methods from the perspective of muscle activity amounts. Subjects: The subjects were 88 legs of 44 healthy women. Methods: Using surface electromyography, we measured the muscle activity of the peroneus muscle during external rotation resistance exercise (ExtRot group) with a Theraband, calf raise exercise (CalRai group), and external rotation exercise in the standing position with weight load on the ball of the foot (ExRoBF group). Results: The peroneus longus showed high muscle activities in the order of ExRoBF, CalRai, and ExtRot, and significant differences among all of the exercise groups. Conclusion: Performing external rotation in the standing position with loading on the ball of the foot is a more effective training method for the peroneus muscle than external rotation with resistance.
