Abstract

Background

The study aims to compare how 3 balance platform designs affect ankle muscle activation during various functional exercises, all performed on the dominant limb.

Methods

Fifteen healthy, active participants performed single-leg stance, single-leg squat, and forward lunge on BOSU® Ball, wobble board, stability trainer, and flat ground. Surface electromyography was used to measure Peroneus Longus, Tibialis Anterior, Gastrocnemius, and Soleus activation during these exercises on different platforms and flat ground. Repeated measures ANOVA with two factors (exercise and platform) were used for analysis.

Results

There was a significant interaction between balance platforms and exercises (p < 0.05). Soleus displayed the highest activation amplitudes during the single leg stance and single leg squat on BOSU®, and peroneus longus displayed the greatest activation amplitudes during the forward lunge on BOSU® (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

The present study findings indicated that exercises conducted on a flexible platform resulted in greater muscle activation levels when compared to those executed on both a rigid platform and flat ground. Based on the level of ankle muscle activation in the current study, exercises for the ankle would progress from exercises on to a flat ground to on a BOSU® in order to achieve progressively greater ankle muscle activation.

Level of evidence

Level III.

功能锻炼时不稳定表面对踝关节肌肉激活的影响

背景该研究旨在比较 3 种平衡平台设计如何影响各种功能性练习中的踝关节肌肉激活，所有练习均在优势肢体上进行。方法15 名健康、活跃的参与者在 BOSU® 球、摇摆板、稳定训练器和平地上进行单腿站立、单腿深蹲和前冲练习。使用表面肌电图测量在不同平台和平地上进行这些练习时腓肠肌、胫骨前肌、腓肠肌和腓肠肌的激活情况。结果平衡平台和练习之间存在显著的交互作用（p <0.05）。结论本研究结果表明，与在刚性平台和平地上进行的练习相比，在柔性平台上进行的练习会产生更大的肌肉激活水平。根据当前研究中的踝关节肌肉激活水平，踝关节练习应从在平地上练习逐步过渡到在 BOSU® 上练习，以逐步提高踝关节肌肉激活水平。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
