Abstract(s)

The push-up has been extensively studied regarding scapular stabilizers. However, certain variations of push-up position still need further study. To analyze the influence of different levers of the upper limb - hands and forearms support - in muscle activity of scapular stabilizers in push-up position on the wall, as well as to analyze the electromyographic differences between protraction and retraction phases of the scapulas.
