Overview

NCT ID: NCT07741760
Lead Sponsor: Istinye UniversityOTHER
Official Title: EVALUATION OF EMG-BASED MUSCLE ACTIVATION DURING REFORMER AND MAT PILATES USING VARIATIONS OF THE SINGLE-LEG BRIDGE EXERCISE.
Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate and compare muscle activation patterns during single-leg bridge exercise variations performed on mat and reformer Pilates equipment using surface electromyography (sEMG). The effects of different reformer spring resistances on neuromuscular activation will also be investigated.
