Abstract
Introduction: Exercise physiology investigates the complex and multifaceted human body responses to physical activity (PA). The integration of electrical bioimpedance (EBI) has emerged as a valuable tool for deepening our understanding of muscle activity during exercise.
Method: In this study, we investigate the potential of using the EBI technique for human motion recognition. We analyze EBI signals from the quadriceps muscle and extensor digitorum longus muscle acquired when healthy participants in the range 20-30 years of age performed four lower body PAs, namely squats, lunges, balance walk, and short jumps.
Results: The characteristics of EBI signals are promising for analyzing PAs. Each evaluated PA exhibited unique EBI signal characteristics.
Discussion: The variability in how PAs are executed leads to variations in the EBI signal characteristics, which, in turn, can provide insights into individual differences in how a person executes a specific PA.
