Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the muscle synergies involved
in making ball throws in different directions and from different
starting positions. The study involved 6 highly qualified athletes
engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. Electromyograms of the superficial
muscles of the upper extremities and trunk were recorded synchronously
during the movements, as well as video capture of the movements
of body segments. Synergy parameters were extracted from the recorded
signals using factor analysis using the principal component method.
It has been established that individuals who have mastered a complex motor
skill can demonstrate similar motor control strategies. This is
manifested in the structuring of intermuscular interaction in the
form of two general modules, the degree of involvement of muscles
in which is highly similar in the implementation of different motor
tasks. The first muscle module implements active movement of the
upper limb by jointly activating the muscles of the forearm, shoulder and
upper shoulder girdle, and also provides stabilization of the position
of the trunk by synchronizing the activity of the muscles of the
back and abdomen. The second muscle module is specific and is mainly associated
with high involvement in the synergy of the muscles of the upper
shoulder girdle and forearm for the implementation of exercises
performed without visual control, or from starting positions that limit
the mobility of certain parts of the body. Thus, the solution to
the problem of coordination of many elements of the motor system
may consist not only in reducing the number of executive organs—muscles involved
in control, but also in organizing control variables in the form
of modules at the kinematic level and their stabilization through
muscle synergies.
