Mind-muscle Connection: Limited Effect of Verbal Instructions on Muscle Activity in a Seated Row Exercise Journal: Perceptual and Motor Skills Mind-muscle Connection: Limited Effect of Verbal Instructions on Muscle Activity in a Seated Row Exercise
Verbal instruction increases electromyographic (EMG) activity in the first three repetitions of an exercise, but its effect on an entire exercise set until failure is unknown. Once there are changes in motor unit recruitment due to fatigue, the effect of verbal instructions can change during different intervals of a set. This study analyzed whether verbal […]
