Abstract(s)
The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the intensity of muscle activation of
Transverse Abdominus /Oblique Internal (TrA/OI) and Multifidus (Mu) during the
performance of four Pilates exercises (and variations), compared, in order to understand
the importance of these exercises in the lumbopelvic stability in healthy subjects. The
sample consisted of 8 individuals. Using the surface electromyography (EMG), it was
found that there are differences in the intensity of muscle activation in the analyzed
exercises and, therefore, “Shoulder bridge” and “ShoulderBridge_extension (right and left
legs)“ are the more appropriate exercises for co-activation between TrA/OI and Mu
muscles for the reeducation of lumbopelvic stability.
