Description
Summary:<p>This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of vertical versus horizontal</p><p>based training on muscle activation, kinematics and kinetics output in relation to</p><p>instructional delivery methods. A total of 30 recreationally active male participants</p><p>aged between 19-29 years old were recruited for the purpose of this study. All</p><p>participants went through 8 weeks of vertical and horizontal training based on two</p><p>instructional methods (verbal and video). Pre and post tests were conducted.</p><p>Electromyography (EMG) was used to measure muscle activation, force platform was</p><p>used to measure kinetics output, and high-speed motion analysis system was used to</p><p>measure kinematics variables. MANOVA was used to determine significant</p><p>differences in muscle activation, kinematic output and kinetic output for both groups</p><p>of instruction, verbal and video methods in pre- and post-test, One way ANCOVA</p><p>was used to compare the effectiveness of strength training using the vertical ( lunges)</p><p>and horizontal (squat) to the kinematic output, kinetic output and muscle activation</p><p>between verbal and video instruction groups, with Pearson Product Moment was used</p><p>to determine relationship between variables. The results of the study found that there</p><p>were no significant difference for both groups in the pre-test and post-test, except for</p><p>biceps femoris muscle activation and ankle kinematics during the lunge and squat.</p><p>Based on percentage of differences, verbal mode of instruction was better than video</p><p>mode of instruction. In conclusion, result of this study indicated that mode of</p><p>instructions given in not much different between each other, as long as the</p><p>instructions able to ensure accurate mechanical performance For future studies, it is</p><p>suggested to look further on the focus of each of the instructions from mechanical</p><p>point on participants from various skills level background.</p>
