Abstract
Kick-biking and running at above average intensity were examined in terms of muscle activation. Surface electromyography was used to evaluate the timing of muscle activity.
The electric potentials of seven lower limb muscles were detected by unique KaZe05 mobile apparatus during both activities. Cross-correlation analysis was introduced to compute the similarity in muscle behavior as well as the timing of muscle activation.
Similar mechanisms in terms of timing and motor control were identified for lower limb extensors. The kick-bike seems to be efficient tool in teaching partial running skills.
