  • You've probably heard the term "activated" in reference to muscles before. In this video, well break down that term plus how we study that kind of thing -- electromyography, or EMG.

    Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m a freelance science writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training and a master’s in clinical exercise physiology. I used to work in the clinical setting as a certified athletic trainer, physical therapy aide, and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. After working in the clinical setting, I went back to school and became a teacher. The goal of my content is to help normal people, not just pre-med students, learn about the human body. That might mean explaining a topic from an anatomy class or exploring a topic from medical history.

    I absolutely love the videos you've done on histology fir beginners and basics of anatomy. It really helps making my educational journey through medicine a much smoother and enjoyable experience. Thank you for your hard work

    Can you make a video on muscle biopsy?

    Sir plz upload a video on ECG?

    Late comer here. What EMG do you recommend for basic clinical data collection ?

  • @apocalypse487

    This reminds me of the 90s ab devices that used electricity to force muscles to activate.

    Why is the mvic percentage higher than 100%, and how can this be explained?

  • @klausmagnobecker
    @klausmagnobecker Před 2 lety

    I use EMG decomposition in my PhD. 😉

    Won't the bicep also act as a weak adducter in the fly? At least the short head should.

    • @Corporis
      @Corporis  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes it would! Bicep activation was just *so* much bigger in chest pec than bench press, even if it was aiding in adduction

    • @mggentry
      @mggentry Před 6 dny +1

      Bicep activation isn’t limiting the chest action in bench vs fly…. If it’s stablilizing your arms for a movement that better activates the pec in a fly, the pec is better activated.
      This can be why abnormally weaker stabilizing muscles can cause a pseudo-weakness of the more primary muscle
      Needle EMG could suss that out 😸

    I knew chest flys were garbage
