Sažetak
Electromyography (EMG) is a technique most closely associated with the essence of skeletal muscle function. By virtue of the EMG signals, which are sometimes called myoelectric, one is in a position to study the living muscle, and, even more, a group of simultaneously acting muscles when performing various motor tasks. When considering the use of EMG in the field of sports medicine in particular, one has to be aware of it being primarily a research method, while the standards of its clinical application are only emerging. Sports medicine is concerned, namely, with the function of cardiovascular and pulmonary systems in the first place, while locomotor system - routinely measured only anthropometrically - is studied mostly due to various injuries that occur during practicing sportive activities and which, consequently, have to be treated, i.e. cured by some medical method. At this point, in medical rehabilitation, EMG certainly may play an important role. However, today’ s state of affairs in measurement and signal processing technology as well as in the field of computing allow us to regard EMG information as an invaluable new “ look” into the coordination, motorics and energetics of neuro-musculo-skeletal system in general. This paper gives a glance of this subject matter. It presents origins of EMG and signal modeling, the role of EMG in monitoring muscle coordination and, finally EMG-based muscle fatigue evaluation.
