Rectification of EMG signals is a common processing step used when performing electroencephalographic-electromyographic (EEG-EMG) coherence and EMG-EMG coherence. It is well known, however, that EMG rectification alters the power spectrum... more
In martial arts and contact sports strikes are performed at near maximum speeds. For that reason, electromyography (EMG) analysis of such movements is non-trivial. This paper has three main goals: firstly, to investigate the differences... more
Almost all cultures have roots in some sort of self defence system and yet there is relatively little research in this area, outside of a sports related environment. This project investigated different applications of strikes from Kung Fu... more
A biomecanica e a ciencia que estuda e quantifica o movimento humano, utilizando os princıpios da mecanica. Sua aplicacao em artes marciais ainda e pouco frequente, especialmente para movimentos de Kung-Fu. O presente trabalho propoe um... more
Background/Study Context: The aging process is associated with a decline in muscle mass, strength, and conditioning. Two training methods that may be useful to improvemuscle function are Pilates and proprioceptive neuromuscular... more

reply: The surface EMG signal is typically a recording of many motor unit action potentials from a muscle. Despite the fact that it is a crude representation of the organization of individual motor unit action potentials, we agree with... more
